'How to Be Remembered wears its heart proudly, earnest in the way of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button or, dare I say, Forrest Gump.' The Guardian


'Original, engrossing, sweet' Graeme Simsion, bestselling author of The Rosie Project


Some lives are simply unforgettable...


On an ordinary night in an ordinary year, Tommy Llewellyn's doting parents wake in a home without toys or nappies, without photos of their baby scattered about, and without any idea that the small child asleep in his cot is theirs.


That's because Tommy is a boy destined to never be remembered.


On the same day every year, everyone around him forgets he exists, and he grows up enduring his own universal Reset. That is until something extraordinary happens: Tommy Llewellyn falls in love.


Determined to finally carve out a life for himself and land the girl of his dreams, Tommy sets out on a mission to trick the universe and be remembered. But legacies aren't so easily won, and Tommy must figure out what's more important - the things we leave behind or the people we bring along with us.


How to be Remembered is a heartwarming, poignant and ultimately inspiring novel about the important things in life.
