Four strangers travel to the past to revisit the day their lives changed forever. They were only supposed to be there for an hour, but soon find themselves trapped for days. And when their paths start to cross, they realize maybe they aren't the strangers they thought they were. I have no complaints abo...

A cross between literary fiction and a speculative thriller, this odd mashup ...

The Memory Collectors is popping up on sci-fi recommendation lists, but honestly, I'd classify it more as a character-driven mystery novel. Either way, I absolutely loved it. It was totally gripping and surprisingly moving.The science aspect is probably the weakest part of the story because it isn't explained very well.
