Forget Me Not Sonata

A Melancholy Melody Echoing Through Time

Forget Me Not Sonata by internationally bestselling author Santa Montefiore is a sweeping, emotionally resonant tale of love lost and rediscovered, memory and music, and the haunting power of the past. Set across decades and continents, this beautifully written novel opens in post-war Argentina, where the rhythms of tango and the heat of summer mask the quiet sorrow of a young woman with a fractured heart. When Audrey Garnet leaves England behind for a new life abroad, she carries with her more than luggage — she brings a secret, and the memory of a love that once promised everything.

Love, Memory, and the Shadows of Yesterday

In the lush countryside of Córdoba, Audrey seeks solace among the vineyards and distant mountains, building a fragile new world for herself while trying to forget the man she left behind. But music — especially the haunting notes of a forgotten sonata — continues to awaken emotions she thought long buried. Decades later, a mysterious letter found in an old family estate in Devon sets her granddaughter on a journey of her own, uncovering the romantic tragedy that shaped Audrey’s life. As the truth slowly unravels, both women must confront what it means to forgive, to let go, and to rediscover joy.
