Book Synopsis

'Compelling' GUARDIAN
'Incredibly well written . . . I really enjoyed it' MARIAN KEYES
'One of the most sophisticated works of science fiction I've read recently' NEW YORK TIMES

The promise at Nepenthe is simple: they will erase the memories you cannot live with.

After the procedure, psychologist Noor will assess you for two things: your mental wellbeing, and the successful erasure of the memory. But there is no assessment if you choose to delete the memory of the Nepenthe procedure itself. If you do that, you're on your own.

And what if one day, out of the blue, your memory is offered back to you - would you want to remember what you've chosen to forget?

'Extraordinary' EMMA STONEX
'Riveting' KAREN THOMPSON WALKER
'Utterly captivating' LUCY CLARKE
Thought-provoking. I loved it' MARCEL THEROUX



Trade Review
Harkin's characters are drawn with wit and economy, and watching their stories dovetail is pure pleasure * The Times *
Incredibly nicely written . . . [Jo Harkin] writes really well about human beings. I really enjoyed it -- Marian Keyes
This compelling cautionary tale is set in an alternative present where it's possible to have painful memories removed . . . Interconnecting narratives by multiple character . . . weave into an ensemble piece that raises fascinating questions about how we use memory both to create and dismantle ourselves, and the ultimate mystery of who, or possibly what, "myself" actually is * Guardian *
A narrative that is as page-turning as a thriller, and as thought-provoking as an inquiry into the human mind should be * i Paper *
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
