"...beautiful magical realism meets heartbreaking reality in this moving and highly original novel." - Jane Moorhead, I Need To Read
“…a compelling and deeply unique novel about love, loss, mortality, life, and so much more. ” - Amy Williams, Amazon
“…engrossing, moving... surprising... I haven't read anything quite like it before." - Sandra Makower, Goodreads

What you don’t remember can’t hurt you.

A thirty-year-old woman called Jane Dawn wakes in a hut surrounded by a snow-covered forest.
She remembers nothing apart from her name, but strange echoes flicker about her mind; that once she flew, time was out of joint, and how she may be responsible for something terrible.
Jane is not alone, and the person with her knows far more than they are letting on.
The answers to the mystery of Jane's curious life will be found over many decades in this story of love, loss, magic, memories, and mortality.

The three “Snow Trilogy” books make up a trilogy with no beginning, middle or end. The stories can be read in any order you choose, but are all connected. Themes and ideas re-occur across the novels, characters re-appear in different ways. The 22nd of December is a crucial date and all three feature a strange box that is the key to secrets.

So, as you will discover, "The Gentle Art Of Forgetting" is neither a prequel to, nor sequel of the others. It is, in fact, both and neither. But what that means will only become clear once you’ve read the entire trilogy.

So come with Jane Dawn as she tries to remember who she is and finds out there may, after all, be a gentle art of forgetting…

Richard Easter has worked as a professional writer since 1987, writing for radio, TV, print, and music. Over the last 3 decades, he has written for many of Britain's best-known TV programmes and presenters.
“The General Theory Of Haunting” is available on Amazon for download or at your favourite bookshop. The “last” part of the trilogy, “The Little Tale Of Delivering” will be released October 1st, 2021.

Very good

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 May 2020

Verified Purchase

This was an odd, absorbing sort of story. I would have given it five stars except for a few grammar/spelling errors. Since when did 'thankyou' become a word? Such a shame, for such a sublime, endearing story to fall short.

This is a deeply beguiling work, hugely original, and a very compelling read; it sets up a baffling, other-worldly situation, and then leads the reader to a very satisfying, unforgettable resolution. Very highly recommended.

Beautifully haunting literary fiction

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 October 2020

Oh my word, where to begin? I’ve just finished this book and I feel emotionally drained, uplifted, saddened, entranced, and so much more.

I read an excerpt of this book on Book Sirens before requesting a free digital ARC and the author’s voice spoke to me. It felt reminiscent of Terry Pratchett, my long time favourite author, and the quirky, conversational tone had me hooked.

The narrative flits about like a snowflake dancing in a winter sky. It never dwells in one area of the story for too long, often whisking the reader to another “somewhere” or “somewhen” which results in a dizzying effect as all the pieces of the plot float around.

And then, suddenly, it all makes sense. And it’s as if it always made sense, even though it didn’t just a few sentences ago.

The characters are few and perfectly formed. The emotions this book evoked in me were powerful and raw. The writing style is poetic, beautiful and unique.

This Gentle Art Of Forgetting is part of a trilogy and I want, no I need, to read the remaining two. I’m highly recommending this to literary fiction fans and am so grateful to the author for allowing me to experience this hauntingly beautiful work of art.

The SNOW

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 February 2020

3.5 Stars

The best thing about this book is the voice of Context. I think I would have been happy to have Context narrate throughout instead of flashing here and there throughout Jane's life and having Jane narrate to us. Context is wry and strangely disconnected from the story and that drew me in, Jane is altogether too serious and instead of sucking you in to her life I found that she kept me at arms length.

When you start the book you are warned that this is part of a trilogy - indeed you are slap bang in the middle of it with Jane's story. You really, REALLY, don't need to read either of the other books to enjoy this one. Apparently (and this is the only one I have read) they share similar themes and some recurring characters but also exist in their separate spaces and times. As a stand alone novel this worked well, I never felt like I was missing out on some nuance because I hadn't read the first book and it did make me curious to read it - which has to be good.

The whole idea of Context butting in to move the story along was a good one as otherwise this would have been a confusing mess. The whole idea of Here and Watching The Snow is just off the wall enough to intrigue me but it did get completely confusing at times but good old Context was always there to save the day. I also loved the idea of explaining the shifts throughout the years of Jane's life until we get to the denouement; it was certainly effective in building the tension and keeping you reading.

Yet, I didn't love this book; I enjoyed it but I always felt there was something missing from it. I think, with the benefit of a couple of days between finishing the book and reviewing it, that this was because I simply couldn't take to Jane. I lived for the 80s references throughout certain sections but that the was the most interesting and absorbing part of her character - pop culture references that hold a nostalgia for me.

On the whole a quirky story that shows a lot of promise by the author but just some way to go with the characters.

Stunning book!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 July 2020

What a stunning book! I was totally captivated by it. The voice of Context leads us through the various events that matter to the story and assures us that we will understand all in the end - and we do. The concept of this book is so unusual, different to anything I’ve read before - and I’ve read a lot! The writing is beautiful, I cared about the characters and what happened to them and the ending was satisfying, but at the same time left me wanting more. Can I really only give it 5 stars? I was privileged to receive a free copy of this book from Booksirens in return for my honest review

Intriguing and original

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 January 2020

This story is intriguing with the narrator inviting the reader to come along on a journey and cleverly weaving together the significant events in Jane's life that lead to the final outcome. These can be as monumental as a death, as tiny as a dripping tap.

Two very different styles are used. The chapters located in the place called Here are fragmented. The chapters written in what I will call the 'real world' are altogether different, with events, feelings and relationships described with great clarity and insight. Here the narrative flows and grips, getting right to the heart of emotions ranging all the way from grief to love, and as Jane's life story comes together, so she comes to life.

The novel has an original structure. It held my attention to the end, with hints of what was to come which kept me wondering where the narrator and I were going. However, for me the flaw in the narrative is that we are told on a few occasions that Jane has killed people, which is misleading and surprising in a book where a major theme is that of unavoidable random happenings determining our path through life. At the risk of giving too much away, I will say no more!
