The Romans settled Crythe, a village now in California originally in the Soviet Union. It was evacuated because it was right in the path of the worst radiation from Chernobyl. The Crythians are noted for their memory. They remember everything and avoid anything that clutters the minds with nonsense - like TV. Is it possible that Kira is Crythian? Her abductor, Aunt Memory, claims she is. When her friends hypnotized her, she remembered being carried through a war-torn city with cobble stones and huddling in an empty room. She doesn't believe her mom is that same Mama who was trying to keep her safe. This is a suspenseful thriller with multiple surprises and plot twists. Most enjoyable!

"Having a good memory isn't the same as intelligence. Intelligence involves insight, being able to make connections, solve problems."
