What if you didn't have to live with your mistakes?

Across the world, thousands of people are shocked to receive an email telling them that they once chose to have a traumatic memory removed. Now they are being given the chance to get that memory back.

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 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 the programme, she will have to risk everything to uncover the true human cost of this miraculous technology.

An exploration of secrets, grief, identity and belonging—of the stories we tell ourselves and come to rely on, Tell Me an Ending is a sharp, dark and devastating novel about the power and danger of memory.

Critic reviews

'Incredibly nicely written . . . [Jo Harkin] writes really well about human beings. I really enjoyed it' (Marian Keyes)

'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 tour de force
