The Memory Thieves

Informationen zum Autor Darren Simpson lives in Nottingham with his wife and two mischievous boys, and spends most of his time pretending he knows what he's doing. After not quite making it as a drummer in a rock band, Darren turned to writing and discovered that it's a fun way not only to escape reality, but also to explore and confront it in unusual ways. He can usually be found lost in his headphones or eating cake mix with a spoon. Klappentext What you don't remember can't hurt you...Cyan has lived on the Island of Elsewhere for as long as he can remember, free from sadness, responsibility and tears. But nightmares and whispers of memories are making him question what he has had to forget to live this carefree life. His best friend Ruby is restless too, setting out at night to explore the sanctuary where they live, and its ever-changing, series of rooms, that reconfigure daily like a giant Rubik's cube. Then a new girl arrives, Jonquil, who seems determined to resist the sanctuary's treatment. When she vanishes, and Cyan is the only resident who remembers her, he realises something very dark is at play...
