Used book – Stolen Memories, Kay Stockham, Françoise Rigal

For Mary, the sudden and unexpected reappearance of Bruce Buchanan in her life is a real tragedy. She still vividly remembers how, a few years earlier, he selfishly took advantage of her adolescent infatuation to draw her into a brief, scandalous affair that her family still holds against her today. So, if she listened only to her reason, Mary would push Bruce away with all her might every time he tried to approach her. But something prevents her from doing so. A disturbing discovery that shakes her resolve and, above all, touches her heart: Bruce seems to have undergone a profound personality change following an accident that caused him to lose his memory. Thus, when Mary tells him about their affair, he refuses to recognize himself in the superficial and cynical boy she describes, and tries by all means to prove to her what a caring man he is. So much so that, without the physical resemblance, barely altered by years of maturity, Mary would think that Bruce... couldn't be Bruce. A disturbing hypothesis and a mystery that the young woman barely dares to confront...
