Overcome with the loss of his boyfriend Sydney, Gavin Winters has set fire to every reminder in their home. A neighbour has captured the blaze on video, turning this little-known TV actor into a household name. Gavin flees LA for New Jersey, where he hopes that ten-year-old Joan, the daughter of a close friend, can reconnect him with the memories of Sydney he is now in danger of losing forever.
Joan was born with a rare ability to recall every single day of her life in perfect detail, and in return for sharing her memories of Sydney, Gavin will help her write a song for a local competition. For Joan has had enough of being the girl who can't forget - she wants to be the girl who will never be forgotten...
Charming, beautifully observed, poignant and funny, The Reminders is an irresistible story of the unlikely friendship between a grief-stricken man who can't remember and a ten-year-old girl who can't forget.

Mistura de Beatles com romance!

Um livro que mistura o desespero de um adulto que não consegue lembrar de momentos que viveu com a inocência de uma criança que nada esquece.
Aqui na leitura aprendemos a valorizar um pouco os momentos que de início parecem pouco especiais, e também a valorizar a pureza da criança e saber que com elas temos muito a aprender! Tudo isso com muita referência a arte, música, Beatles! Um livro completo!!
Indico muito a leitura!
