In the forests and spa towns of Bohemia, two families build their lives beneath the gathering shadows of twentieth-century Europe.

​

Anna Stingl grows up in a prosperous but troubled household, learning that intelligence and usefulness may offer her only path to freedom.

 

Andreas Fuchs leaves his village for the grand hotels of Vienna, Switzerland, and Paris, determined to discover the wider world without surrendering his conscience.

​

Their journeys unfold across glassworks, bakeries, cafés, and elegant hotels as war, economic upheaval, and shifting borders transform everything once thought permanent. Then Anna’s application—marked with a tiny blue flower—comes into Andreas’s hands, bringing two family histories together.

 

Inspired by letters, photographs, treasured objects, and stories passed down through generations, Forget Me Not is a moving historical saga of resilience, remembrance, and a love that becomes home.
