Eternal Mind Review:
Plot:
Daniel’s soul has lived for many centuries now just like many other souls on earth, however, he remembers all the lives he has lived. Is his exceptional memory a blessing or a curse? In the present time, Lucy (aka Sophie many lives ago) has no memory of her past lives. Daniel and Lucy have loved each other for centuries, but Lucy does not remember and Daniel cannot forget. One common factor always comes as an obstacle in their lifetimes to ensure they never end up together. But will they overcome this obstacle in this lifetime? My name is memory is a heartfelt fantasy love story that allows the reader to travel through time with the characters.
This story gives you a glimpse of various time periods through the eyes of two lovers that have a deep connection. Turning through these pages one learns about the struggles and consequences of love and hatred. While reading this book there were moments where I was frustrated with the characters and at other moments I empathized with them. By the time I reached the end, I was rooting for these lovers to have a happy ending.
If you enjoy reading a book about traveling through both time and destinations, with a strong touch of love and romance then this book is for you. This book also makes you think about the concept of life and death. There were moments when after reading a particular line I would put the book down to spend some time letting those words sink in to understand the meaning it was attempting to convey.
Also, the author of this book, Ann Brashares, is also the author of the book series, “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Plants,” so if you enjoyed reading that series then there is no doubt in my mind that this book is for you.
BOOK THOUGHTS:
- Time has a way of just slipping away like sand in a clenched fist, therefore it is necessary to enjoy each and every moment we are blessed with in our lifetime.
- Trusting someone can be a scary thing. It can be really difficult to put your faith in someone when they speak of unbelievable things. You can either refuse to trust someone and miss out on an amazing adventure or you could take a leap of faith for an undeserving person and end up in an awful situation. It can be difficult to trust someone, but your gut doesn’t lie.
- If you don’t have time for love, then make time for love. Love is a precious feeling and an unforgettable experience so make it a beautiful part of your life.
FAVORITE QUOTES:
“Your death is a shadow of your life.”
“I guess I was better at loving then, too, and also better at being loved – the two go together.”
“You forget your victories, but remember the losses.”
– Ann Brashares
