Best Not to Remember

They awaken in the Afterlife, a surreal place where they’re told it’s better not to remember. But one of them carries a faint, ghost-like memory he was never meant to keep. The Afterlife is a place of happiness, yet he cannot rest until he resolves what is some sort of glitch. It is so strong that he realises: love is the source of the problem. With help, he chooses to return to the living world, one week before his death date, to do whatever it is that he feels must be corrected.

A story of love across two dimensions, the Afterlife and World War II, set in Florence in the hill town of Fiesole, involving partisans, German occupiers, Italians divided by civil war, and the Allied forces advancing northward.

Best Not to Remember by Gregory French is a compelling journey through time and spirit, exploring the power of unfulfilled love and the pursuit of peace beyond life’s finality.
