A sharp, explosive and devastating story about the power and danger of memory. What if you didn' t have to live with your mistakes? Across the world, four people receive an email saying they can have restored a memory they' d had erased. Of course, they don' t remember having it removed and the mere knowledge that they' ve hidden something from themselves sends at first a ripple, and then a riptide, through their lives. For Mei, William, Oscar and Finn there is a piece missing, but they' re not sure what. And each of them must decide if the truth is worth the pain of discovery, or better left unknown. For Noor, who works at the memory clinic Nepenthe, the process of reinstating their patients' memories begins to shake the moral foundations of her world. As she delves deeper into architecture of the programme, she will have to risk everything to uncover the true human cost of this miraculous technology. But who among us has never felt the burning sense of a sorrow we cannot decipher, a secret we cannot reach, or a suspicion that we do not belong? Tell Me An Ending is a sharp, explosive and devastating story about the power and danger of memory.
An extraordinary novel-- intelligent and searching, with deep questions about humanity, history and self. Expansive in its scope and themes, but never losing touch with its characters' hearts and minds, Tell Me an Ending is gripping, inventive, and a memory I' ll never forget -- Emma Stonex A cautionary tale about technology making its way into the very depths of our personal lives, Tell Me an Ending is thought-provoking and utterly compulsive -- Tahmima Anam, author of The Startup Wife Beautifully drawn, sympathetic and with complex characters. I stayed up all night - I literally couldn' t put it down -- Carys Bray A triumph! Original, compelling, and utterly captivating. Told through a cast of sharply observed, complex characters, Tell Me An Ending takes us on a fascinating journey into the depths of human memory -- Lucy Clarke Suspenseful, richly imagined, and brimming with compassion, Jo Harkin' s Tell Me an Ending poses tantalizing questions about technology, ethics, capitalism, memory, trauma, and fate. How far would we go to live a happier life? Who are we without the memories that have shaped us? A feat of ingenious, intricate world-building. I finished the last page desperate to discuss this brilliant novel with everyone I know. -- Jessamine Chan, author of The School For Good Mothers
