Deja Vu

Rose wakes up two weeks after her sixteenth birthday in a hospital. She doesn't remember anything from her past or the circumstances that brought her there. Her family and friends surround her with love, helping her to recover and return to her life. But, for Rose, life has begun at the age of sixteen; she doesn't remember her childhood, her parents, nor David, her childhood sweetheart.
The years pass. Rose lives a life no different from that of thousands of other women. The choices she makes at different junctures in her life affect her and those around her. She experiences moments of crisis and success, joy and sadness.
Sixteen years after she loses her memory, her life is subjected to a surprising twist, which makes her think again about the choices she made in her life.

Déjà Vu is Michal Hartstein's third novel. It was preceded by Confessions of an Abandoned Wife and Hill of Secrets.

Déjà Vu won the Israeli Nanowrimo contest, raising these comments from the judges: "A real 'page turner,'… honest and free from self-righteousness… centered around a fascinating concept. The writer has a rare talent for telling a compelling story."
