About The Book

“. . . an example of women’s fiction at its best.”—Foreword Reviews

When Anna, now living in California, is contacted by the Italian lover she knew decades before, she recalls their affair and the child she gave up for adoption. As the episode returns to haunt her—threatening the life she’s built, including her marriage—the story moves back in time to her youth in Europe.

Rome, 1979. Anna, twenty-two and living abroad, is involved with a man already engaged to be married. When she meets and befriends his fiancée, she is forced to confront the moral consequences of her actions. But an unexpected pregnancy, an anonymous letter, and threatening relatives complicate the picture. A novel in which an unconventional heroine, far from home, is forced to reckon with the judgment of others.

Nothing Forgotten is the third novel in Jessica Levine’s The Cousins Series. It can be read after The Geometry of Love or as a standalone.

2018 Next Generation Indie Book Awards Winner in Second Novel 2018 Next Generation Indie Book Awards Finalist in General Fiction/Novel (Over 80,000 words) "Fans of Emma Straub, Anne Tyler, and Liane Moriarty will adore Levine's treatment of domestic drama and how she brings light to the dusty corners of marriage and motherhood. Immersing the reader in Roman decadence and San Francisco's modernity, Nothing Forgotten is an intricately layered, deeply heartfelt, and bittersweet novel."
—Booklist, Starred Review

“…absorbing and entertaining….Levine’s writing is sparkling and clear. Nothing Forgotten is an example of women’s fiction at its best….enjoyable, memorable, and thought-provoking all at once.”
—Foreword Reviews

"A vivid travelogue . . . reminded me of the Italian television series . . . that proved compulsively engrossing, 'The Best of My Youth,' . . . delicious insights into Italian life."
