I have a new review of Nothing Forgotten up on ManyBooks:
Anna’s memories take us back to Rome in the 1970s, when she was a new graduate, working as an English teacher to fund her travels around the world. The travelogue sections really shine, full of both the overwhelming ancient beauty of Rome and the intense modern city. Anna’s crowd of ex-pat drifters comes to life, with parties and pairings of young people seeking adventure, excitement, and escape in foreign lands.
Even so many years later, Anna recalls their relationship and romance in detail, and it seems more real to her than her marriage. Rome provides a beautiful backdrop for their emerging romance, and the framing of the story lets readers know right from the start that this will be Anna’s greatest love.
