Memories make us who we are - but what if yours belonged to someone else? This is the story of a missing plane, a rare-flower hunter, and a lonely young man who has begun to remember a past that isn't his. It's the story of a long- buried mystery, a quest that ended in tragedy, and a love that can never be forgotten. 'Effortlessly entertaining, smart and effervescent . . . Whitehouse is a writer with a dazzling wit and a striking empathy' Benjamin Wood, author of The Ecliptic 'Never have flowers seemed so beautiful, or love at first sight felt so intense . . . This is a moving tale about love, loss, obsession, identity, memories and how our pasts shape us. Truly original and unforgettable' Culture Fly 'Once the thorns of The Long Forgotten get into you, the book stays with you all day until you can get back to it' Grazia
