[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.

I stayed up all night - I literally couldn't put it down -- Carys Bray Tell Me An Ending is a triumph of a novel . . . it asks searching questions about our relationship with memory, and each other. I loved it -- Emylia Hall A smart, thought-provoking page-turner. I loved it -- Marcel Theroux Perfect for fans of David Mitchell, it's a twisty and compelling exploration of what might happen if humans were able to erase painful memories * iNews * Sharply, beautifully written and punctuated with wry, slanted asides, Tell Me an Ending is one of the most sophisticated works of science fiction I've read recently * New York Times *
