    The book it pretended to be from is the short story “Story of your life” by Ted Chiang which seems to be a bit different from “Try to remember”:

    • Aliens arrive

    • Woman learns their language and it completely changes her perception of time which makes her tell her daughter her(the daughter’s) whole life’s story on the day of her birth (Hence the title)

    • Aliens leave at some point and nobody knows why

      what make me think that "Try to remember " was used, is the “bomb attack”… it make no sense in the movie, and it also sound a bit dumb in Herbert novel. And of course, beside the time travel twist, every thing play the same
