I’ve had this on my Book Club pile for years, but never had the urge to pick it up, because the subject matter sounded so depressing. Now that I’m making a determined to clear the list, I figured I would try it out, expecting to DNF it quite soon, but instead found myself being drawn into the emotional drama, especially as it covers issues that are relevant for my own family.
Lisa and David are finally free to be together, twenty years after their first relationship ended, after the death of his wife from cancer. His political career is going well, and she is happily looking forward to their wedding and the beautiful house they will share. The only obstacle is his adult daughter, Rosalind, who is still grieving for her mother and refuses to acknowledge Lisa.
Distracted by all their problems, they initially put David’s new forgetfulness and mood swings down to stress, until a devastating diagnosis changes everything.
It’s hard to know whether the actual diagnosis is much of a spoiler, given the title and thankyous in the foreword. I actually think it’s better to know what is coming as if you are expecting a heartwarming romance, you need to look elsewhere. This has a lot of negative reviews, complaining that it’s boring, and while I agree it is a bit slow, and there’s a lot of wittering about trivia, I think the way the characters are gradually developed was a strength of the book.
It’s been a while since I’ve despised a character as much as Rosalind, but that’s actually a compliment to the author. Her monstrous selfishness created the central conflict of the plot, and made me think hard of how I would have reacted since I could very easily have ended up in her shoes, were it not for the wonders of modern chemotherapy. Would I begrudge my father his chance of finding happiness again if I thought his new wife was just after his money?
I was interested in where she would go with this, as the Right To Die movement gains strength worldwide - a bill is underway in our parliament right now as it happens. I found the ending a bit of a cop-out, although everything probably did turn out for the best. I’m giving this 3.5 rounded down for the ending.

This book broke my heart , made me question “What if ?” So many people going through this issue and holding their world together . To those doing just that ,I salute you .

I wish I could give a 2.5 rating to this book...but there is no such option.
As I read somewhere in a review, Forgotten can be easily forgotten...Forgotten has a story line which will question your logic many times if you think through the story...
The author has made the story based on what could go wrong in a person's life in a short span...And the thing that questioned my logic is the theme of the story.
Lisa was a 20 year old when she met David in a party. David was married to Catrina for a few years and their marriage was going through a rough patch. David and Lisa fell in love with each other. Meanwhile Catrina was demanding for a divorce. Later Catrina wanted to get back with David and they did so, leaving Lisa in a difficult position. Twenty years later Catrina dies of cancer and David and Lisa gets back together and decides to get married.
Probably because I am still single, I couldn't absorb the logic of Lisa and David sharing the same feelings they had for each other 20 years back. The character of David's daughter Rosalind is pathetic especially when she is a mother of a 8 yr old kid suffering from Asperger's syndrome (Yea this is the favorite disease of the modern writers.)
I enjoyed reading through the story and wasn't disappointed as I had no high expectations about this book. There was so many sad moments described in the book, but nothing went through to my heart.

I read this for three reasons: It was on the recommended shelf in the library, I have a penchant for emotional thrillers, and the author was a Times bestselling author.
It was awful.
None of the characters were likeable. None of them. They were annoying, selfish, and generally difficult to read about. They were complete cliché's, and I do not understand how the author has been a best-seller.
The read was clunky. It had no flow. The story line was okay, but could've been a lot better. I was meant to feel sympathy for all of the characters, and I felt the opposite. The only reason I continued to the end was because I didn't have anything else to read.
Utter rubbish.

Susan Lewis had me hooked from the start. What a beautiful and heart-wrenching written book. If I could rate it higher, I would!

A bit of a mixed bag with this book. An important and interesting topic. Parts of it were very well written and sad. Parts were a bit annoying, I don’t think we needed so much description of how good looking everyone was and what designer gear they were wearing! Lisa was too saintly at times and Rosalind needed a slap. Worth a read but a tad disappointing for me.

I found this book completely boring, so gave up after a short time and moved on to another book where the narrative grabbed my attention.

Forgotten by Susan Lewis 📓
Lisa and David had first met some twenty odd years ago, a university student and a lecturer. In recent months, whilst both attending the same function, they had seen each other, her a writer and him a prestigious MP. Both times, he had been married and had called time on the relationship the first time around leaving Lisa heartbroken. Now it was her turn to call the shots.
They were now renovating a huge house, their first home together, and planning a lavish wedding. They were set to be the ultimate power couple and life seemed like it had reached its optimum peak. That was, apart from one person who had insisted on making herself a problem within their lives, Rosalind, David's daughter. Her refusal to accept her father's new partner and soon to be bride, born out of David and Lisa's poor timing of their union being not that long after the untimely demise of her mother. David's ex had been aware of Lisa and vehemently opposed to any relationship once she was gone, so Rosalind naturally feels that she has to fight this union on behalf of her mother. However, Rosalind isn't the only one set to ruin things for the happy couple. A more formidable, unstoppable greater force than any person, was about to make its presence felt, one that David wouldn't be able to use his negotiating skills on, or Lisa her nurturing, mothering skills which so far she had only been able to bestow on her niece, now in her late teens. Then, when it matters most, the bravery that the others are struggling to find within themselves appears within the unemotional, straightforward clear logic of a young mind. ⌛
This novel was recommended to me by a friend, in as much as I saw that she was reading it on a book review site. I had greatly anticipated what lay between the pages of this story, once I'd read the synopsis. As a narrative that concentrates on people's lives within a family drama, together with a theme that always makes for a good story whether there is a positive or negative conclusion, it had all the components of my favourite kind of read. However, the way in which it was written, felt very laboured and wordy, and consequently there is a lot to unpack in order to fully convey my opinion of this extremely well researched, thought provoking and thorough piece of writing. Rosalind's utter refusal to deal with anything that doesn't go her way or conform to her liking, plus her interminable ability to persist with a grudge was spun out until it was excruciating. The way she treated her husband was, in part understandable, but three years after the affair seemed a bit unreasonable. By that point, if she couldn't get past it, she should have ended the marriage. The constant attempts to see anything bad that happened between her and her father as Lisa's fault were childish. The fact that she was unable to see that it was her immature, bullish behaviour that was poisoning her relationship with both her father and husband was maddening, and her point blank denial of her father's situation was so frustrating that at times I had to stop reading at times. 👱♀️👨🦳👩🦱
I like characters that I can relate to, but this was sadly not the case with 'Forgotten'. For the majority of the novel, I actually didn't warm to David or Lisa, and felt them both to be quite pretentious and spoilt individuals, used to getting their own way, especially Lisa. I felt annoyance with David's apparent ignorance of the effects that his actions may have on his daughter, his disrespect for his ex-wife and the arrogance of putting his needs foremost. My sympathy was firmly with his daughter. Interestingly enough though, my feelings towards David soften throughout the book and harden towards Rosalind. I'm not sure that I particularly liked any of the characters in this book except Tony who seemed to be a very laid back, jovial, likeable sort of chap, quite once I'll matched with Lisa I would have thought. He seemed however to be sincere and genuine when it mattered, perhaps a side that he hadn't shown to Lisa before. When she is reminiscing on their time together about the things he did that she took issue with, I though that they were, for a woman in her situation, quite inconsequential considering that she was a woman of means and I should imagine considerable resources. I just couldn't feel sorry for her when she seems to have always been a woman of wealth with no shortage of close family, friends or contacts to help her out of a tight spot. Begging the question then why she chooses him to lean on when lthings get rough. Adisloyal and selfish act taking advantage of others disadvantages. 👨🦰🍹
When David begins to show signs of what the reader ultimately discovers to be the thing that devastates their lives, I felt that Lisa was very slow to realise to realise what is happening to her husband, and when David voices what he suspects as the cause, she is keen to discourage his thinking. After diagnosis, there just seems to be a lot of frustration, misunderstanding, anger and denial coming from Lisa, David and Rosalind at a time a time when there should be understanding, love and empathy. I though at that point, Lisa could have taken a much more active role in mending bridges for David's sake. Instead of one failed phone call, she could have gone to see her step daughter in person and been more persistent for David's sake. I found Lisa to be a very introspective person within her relationship with David, and therefore slow to grasp what was happening to them. Her consideration towards her own blood relatives however appears to be very much more forthcoming as I suppose is natural, but concealing the truth from Amy as she is leaving for Australia and the awkward exchanges between the group at the airport, I thought created unneccessary confusion at a time when openness and honesty were required.🧳✈
The Epilogue, despite them being together physically, I felt things still weren't quite right between the two women, but there was the potential to grow with time. 👩🦱👱♀️
I was tempted to give 'Forgotten' three stars, but due to the important subject portrayed in the narrative, and the work and research that has clearly gone into it, I think that is definitely worthy of four stars.

This book has been an emotional read. Dementia is the hardest thing to watch somebody you love go through. I watched my uncle go through it .
This book by Susan Lewis tells the story sensitively about David who at a happiest time in his life discovers he has dementia and how he tries to control his condition and what will happen to him.
The ending had me in tears , and though it was a unexpected ending for David it worked well in the storyline.

though i did enjoy it, it had a dissappointing ending.

Slow in the beginning but worth it in the end. The last few chapters got me in tears. Glad I stuck through it.
May 8, 2012
This has to be my most valued book for ages - the ISBN is 978 0 099 52574 5. I defy anyone to really read and not identify with it. I cannot rate it highly enough.
March 30, 2020
The book covers a sensitive subject- Dementia, which is rarely known and talked about. The disease and the conditions a patient and his loved ones go through are well explained. It is heart touching and painful at the same time.
Apart from the main subject, there are a few factors that don’t go too well with the story.
Firstly, Rosalind’s character is so awful that I began to believe she’ll end up getting diagnosed with some psychological disorder herself. Lawrence, her 7-year-old son suffering from Asperger syndrome, seemed to be more mature and understanding than her. Even a failed marriage, a son with a disorder, having lost her mom, and her father who is getting remarried, couldn’t justify her insane behavior, and fail to draw sympathy towards her.
Secondly, we expected some more excerpts from David and Lisa’s intense love story and their longing in 20 long years, when the author had mentioned that it was so strong that it made them reunite after this long, that too soon after David’s wife’s death. Rather it was mentioned as briefly as a small incident, and the first half of the novel was dragged unnecessarily in the wedding preparations.
Overall, if you’re looking for a romantic love story, then this one’s not for you. Rather, choose this book for a better understanding of this medical condition.

I liked this a lot, but felt it was rather long-winded. By the time we got to the diagnosis of David’s condition the book was about three-quarters of the way through and it was fairly obvious what it was going to be within the first 40 pages. The author pens some excellent characters, although David’s daughter is a bit of a caricature and Lisa seems rather too good to be true, I did care about them. One thing I felt was lacking was any talk of David’s parents, where they were, and if they were dead, whether this had any bearing on David’s illness? Unless I just missed this, in which case this element must have been quite brief. The difficulties of managing an autistic child and dealing with a family member whose health is failing were very well-written and realistic. Having dealt with both they both struck a chord with me, including the elements of denial and not wanting to acknowledge what is actually happening within the family.
I would have given 3.5 stars if it was an option. It is a good read, but I couldn’t justify 4 because of its unnecessary length.

I'm not really sure what I make of this book. I'm not really sure if I have enjoyed it. The first 3/4 of it is all about the lead up to the wedding and to me it felt like it all dragged on. I don't think this story needed to be as long as what it is.
It is also very predictable what was wrong so really irritating that it was dragged out for so long.
I can not stand the character Rosalind. What a spoilt brat and this is an adult! The relationship between her and her father is unhealthy in my opinion.
The end part of the book where it goes over what David thinks and how it feels to go through that. But we didn't get much of that and I feel like that would have been more beneficial than hearing about Rosalinds life and issues.

David, a politician, is stuck between his new wife Lisa and his adult daughter Rosalind. His wife Catrina died a year ago and Rosalind can't get over the fact her dad moved on so quickly. David starts acting all weird and is eventually diagnosed with early onset dementia. There's several hints to this before it's revealed yet neither female leads seems to twig.
It's all very sad and shows the way dementia can come on rapidly.
Awarding it 2 stars because it's just SO LONG. This could've been halved and it would have been a decent story. As it was, it's just too drawn out and long winded.

My 17th Susan Lewis read. By far the worst book I have read all year! The story was slow, monotonous and really just never picked up. Zero fizz. So much so, I am struggling to recall the lead female character's name, yet I finished the book only 24 hours ago. Lead character had no presence, absolutely no fight, and was rather door mat like. The plot is completely flawed and difficult to follow. Almost like there is no fluidity to the story.
September 27, 2020
This has been a beautiful read that very almost made me cry. Such a sad read, and with some very well constructed characters.
Rosalind is very well constructed even though she's a horrible character. She is definitely the cause of the majority of the tension within the book and I'm just glad she had some redemption in the end.
Certainly worth a read.

Another page turner from Susan Lewis. Ive only discovered her books this year and have already read 11 or 12! I can see me reading the whole 50 she has written! Some are on Kindle Unlimited but have had to just pay that and buy some. I wont give the plot away on any of her books,suffice to say you wont be disappointed!

Simply a beautiful book about human emotion
This book pulled me from crying to laughing to mourning to rejoicing. Susan Lewis just gets to the heart of everyday normal fragile humans trying to navigate life. What a heartbreaking beautiful story.

I am loving Susan Lewis. The way she presented the illness with compassion showed she either has intimate knowledge of the subject or does a lot of research. Fast becoming one of my favourite authors!

Found this very slow. Maybe it got better but I didn't hang around long enough to find out.
July 25, 2018
I really enjoyed the premise of this story but felt it was too long winded and found many of the descriptions of places and people too over-the-top.
September 24, 2019
This was a real tear jerker. A great read. I guessed correctly what was the matterwith David as it has happened in my family, and it is so upsetting watching them deteriate.

Not the best book by this author. Disappointing.

A bit too much political stuff at first for my taste. But once I got into the real story, found it very sad and uplifting.
