Absolutely devoured this audiobook; I couldn't stop listening to it once I started.
The book is framed as Miriam's autobiography, during an alternate world where there was some sort of war/disease outbreak called The Reckoning. The book explores her childhood during the Reckoning through to Miriam's involvement with post-Reckoning rebuilding efforts, to which she contributed a new type of therapy that can block traumatic events, essentially paint over those events in your memory. There's a second narrator who, at first, comes across like an unbiased fact checker, but gradually leaves the reader in the position ofeither writing off Miriam as crazy or the fact checker as just another element of propaganda in this world, still painting over unsavory events .
Really enjoyed this one.
