"What happens when ALL IS NOT FORGOTTEN?"

Fresh Fiction Review

All Is Not Forgotten
Wendy Walker

Reviewed by Debbie Wiley

Thriller | Thriller Psychological

The night Jenny Kramer was raped changed everything for the town of Fairview, Connecticut. No one knows who the rapist is and Jenny can't remember. Her parents chose to give her a controversial treatment to erase her memory, hoping that forgetting the rape would allow her to function normally afterwards. Unfortunately, Jenny is still struggling and a suicide attempt leads her into the care of psychiatrist Dr. Alan Forrester. What happens when ALL IS NOT FORGOTTEN after all? Wow! Wendy Walker takes this first person narrative and sends ALL IS NOT FORGOTTEN in some unexpected--and quite horrific--directions. Dr. Forrester tells the story in a convoluted fashion, weaving back and forth from the Kramer's story to the lives of two other patients he has treated. However, it is his overall clinical tone that truly accentuates the appalling events that ensue. In fact, I'm not sure I can name any other narrator to a story that I have loved to despise as much as Dr. Forrester. His sheer arrogance permeates each page as he emanates almost a sense of godliness. And yet I couldn't stop reading! ALL IS NOT FORGOTTEN blends together psychiatry, futuristic memory science, and a downright superb mystery into a stunning thriller. I cheered for Jenny, even as I felt the anguish of those around her who wanted to help and yet were unable to. Wendy Walker takes some real risks with ALL IS NOT FORGOTTEN and they pay off spectacularly! If you like edgy, suspenseful novels with unreliable narrators, then look no further as ALL IS NOT FORGOTTEN is masterfully told.

SUMMARY

In the small, affluent town of Fairview, Connecticut, everything seems picture perfect. Until one night when young Jenny Kramer is attacked at a local party. In the hours immediately after, she is given a controversial drug to medically erase her memory of the violent assault. But, in the weeks and months that follow, as she heals from her physical wounds, and with no factual recall of the attack, Jenny struggles with her raging emotional memory. Her father, Tom, becomes obsessed with his inability to find her attacker and seek justice while her mother, Charlotte, prefers to pretend this horrific event did not touch her perfect country club world. As they seek help for their daughter, the fault lines within their marriage and their close-knit community emerge from the shadows where they have been hidden for years, and the relentless quest to find the monster who invaded their town - or perhaps lives among them - drive this psychological thriller to a shocking and unexpected conclusion.
