Deja Vu: A time-loop novel

What if you can relive your life, from the age of sixteenth?

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's life turns boring as hell. She knows something had gone wrong, but what? She can't tell, and sadly watches her youth fades away. At the age of thirty-two, she wakes up in the hospital...



She is sixteenth again.

Can she change her fate?





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."
