Every 179 days Robbie’s memory resets. He knows this because he told himself in the letter he found after his last forgetting. To survive his recurring amnesia, Robbie leads a life that’s solitary and regimented. Alone in his apartment, he works to complete a bizarre, herculean task bequeathed to him by his former self.

And then, with twelve days left before his next forgetting, Julie invades his life. Who is this aloof and beautiful young woman, who clearly has plans of her own?

As the hour draws near, Robbie is forced to confront the fact that his past is very different from how he had imagined it. When Julie reveals her own terrible secret, he must come to terms with the truth about his own identity and their shared history.

Is he about to lose everything all over again?

The Beautiful Fall is a cinematic, page-turning romance. It’s both an intellectual puzzle and a compulsively readable love story.
