The Weary God of Ancient Travelers
Jessica Stilling, author
hile traveling on a Greek island, Lydia Warren, a late twenty-something American, who recently developed temporary amnesia, realizes that she can remember her past-life experiences, which help her discover not only her distant past, but the traumatic experiences that led her to lose her memory. All that Lydia knows is that she is living on the Greek island of Santorini, in a house she has inherited (although she doesn't know from whom), with a man whom she calls David Copperfield because she cannot remember his name. Lydia has experienced a recent deep trauma, referred to only as That Night, which has led her to develop temporary amnesia. This book hits home with the #Metoo movement as the book follows a survivor of sexual assault as she tries to heal as she faces her trauma.
