“Forget the Past” by Claude Nougat
Tony Bellom is a top notch programmer who at the age of 17 is burned out & decides to go to Sicily to learn more about his ancestors (his father died when Tony was only five). Tony hopes that the trip will help him discover all the missing pieces of his life.
After visiting Bellom palace Tony accidentally walks into Circolo di Conversazione where he bumps into his dead ancestors conversing & arguing.
Through the plays put up for the benefit of all present in the Chat Club Tony learns a bit about his family & more than he ever expected about himself and his past life.
Throughout the whole book Claude brilliantly depicts the fears we all face, regardless of our age (aging, life purpose, life achievements etc.).
She also puts an old world & believes in opposition to Toni’s world & his upbringing. By many of his relatives he is seen as a threat ‘cos he wants to change the way things have been done in the family for centuries.
“Forget the Past” is a beautifully written, very visual and entertaining story. Good read not only for teenagers but also more grown up people who are on a lookout for something different than vampires ☺
Can’t wait to get my hands on Reclaim the Present
