“This absorbing first effort brings to mind the mountaineers of a Jon Krakauer read, the tenderness of a Nicholas Sparks novel, and the enduring love story of Charles Martin´s The Mountain between Us, all sprinkled with a heady dose of passion. Colin is an author to watch and savor.” -Booklist
“Dazzlingly original and as haunting as a dream, Emily Colin´s mesmerizing debut explores the way memory, love, and great loss bind our lives together in ways we might never expect. From its audacious opening to its knockout last pages, I was enthralled.” -Caroline Leavitt, NYT bestselling author of Pictures of You
“…A beautiful story of restraint, passion and love crossing from one life to the next. Ms. Colin’s characters are vividly drawn with a zest for life readers will long to experience for themselves.”–Coffee Time Romance
“In The Memory Thief, love itself is a character, able to transcend all natural boundaries to find its way home…or learn to let go. Colin writes with heartbreaking conviction about loss, and yet there is a knowing sweetness at the core of this richly emotional tale. A lovely, self assured debut from a writer to watch.” –Joshilyn Jackson, author of A Grownup Kind of Pretty and Gods in Alabama
