The Forgotten Room

The Forgotten Room is a 2016 historical fiction novel by Karen White, Lauren Willig, and Beatriz Williams.

[1] Booklist's Rebecca Vnuk highlighted how "the authors do a wonderful job of slowly teasing out the details while keeping the different story lines moving along."

"[1] Kirkus Reviews highlighted the ways in which the three stories intersect: "With all three stories taking place in the same location, the novel is filled with both coincidences and parallels, the past finding ways to repeat itself until it reaches a satisfying conclusion.

"[2] On behalf of Shelf Awareness, Elyse Dinh-McCrillis wrote, "White, Williams and Willig have pulled off an impressive feat: combining their voices seamlessly.

While the stories are engrossing and the narrators strong-willed women, a suspension of disbelief is needed because the arc of the novel depends on coincidence occurring more than once.
