Interpretation During Books My Name Is Memory
Daniel has spent centuries falling in love with the same girl. Life after life, crossing continents and dynasties, he and Sophia (despite her changing name and form) have been drawn together-and he remembers it all. Daniel has "the memory", the ability to recall past lives and recognize souls of those he's previously known. It is a gift and a curse. For all the times that he and Sophia have been drawn together throughout history, they have also been torn painfully, fatally, apart. A love always too short. Interwoven through Sophia and Daniel's unfolding present day relationship are glimpses of their expansive history together. From 552 Asia Minor to 1918 England and 1972 Virginia, the two souls share a long and sometimes torturous path of seeking each other time and time again. But just when young Sophia (now "Lucy" in the present) finally begins to awaken to the secret of their shared past, to understand the true reason for the strength of their attraction, the mysterious force that has always torn them apart reappears. Ultimately, they must come to understand what stands in the way of their love if they are ever to spend a lifetime together.Be Specific About Books Concering My Name Is Memory

Brashares took a fantastic and intriguing idea and ruined it. Here are the ways this story is pathetic:- Brashares has the freedom to put her characters in any time period, location, and situation, yet she never gives Daniel and Lucy a convincing love story. There's absolutely no substance or reason to their attraction. - Such as their first encounter. A simple view of this girl, and Daniel is ready to spend miserable lifetime after miserable lifetime being, well, miserable because he can't be-------My complete review (updated)---------As I said in my previous review of this book, I didnt like the story. I felt depressed, tired and alone the entire time that I was reading it. I dont know if it was because of how the story goes or it was just because I am a shallow person who couldnt appreciate this kind of plot. Either way, Im still entitled to my own opinion, so here goes my review:1. At first I got attracted by this book because of its cover. There was something mysterious with the
My Name Is Memory isn't bad. I liked its originality, its way of connecting various centuries together and its creativity, but I think the romance really took over the story to the point where there was hardy a story left to tell.
Love who you love while you have them. That's all you can do. Let them go when you must. If you know how to love, you'll never run out. Love demands everything, they say, but my love demands only this: that no matter what happens or how long it takes, you`ll keep faith in me, you`ll remember who we are, and you`ll never feel despair. You have been with me from the very first life. You are my first memory every time, the single thread in all of my lives. It`s you who makes me a person.
This is a great book that I enjoyed reading a lot. At first I was taken aback by the similarities with Fallen (storyline and names), not in the sense that they copied on each other, but in the sense "what are the odds to use the same names?". So I've been doing some research on the names (yes, I am that geeky) and haven't found anything relevant so I'm still very curious about it if anyone has an explanation (there is *nothing* like a mystery to keep you up at night - I so don't believe in
DNF at 35 %.Not into this at all! Sounded interesting, but I couldn't connect. I've heard this has a non-ending, and I didn't want to stick it out in a story where I wasn't enjoying the beginning or the middle just to get a lackluster ending.I was listening to the audiobook and for one thing, the narrators sounded much too old for the characters they were portraying. For another, I really did not like how Brashares switched from first person to third person. Daniel would narrate his past lives
What a disappointing companion this book makes! A frightening familiarity hit as I read from page to page, and I realized: it reminds me of Twilight. I don't enjoy tossing Stephenie Meyer's name around every time the topic of poor writing surfaces, but her ability is among the most prominently weak that I've encountered in a crazy spectrum of good and bad writing. Truly, I am surprised Lucy did not convince herself that Daniel is a vampire, but thank the universe that Lucy has a brain. Or maybe
