What if you once had a painful memory removed? And what if you were offered the chance to get it back? Tell Me an Ending follows four characters grappling with the question of what to remember-and what they hoped to forget forever. Finn, an Irish architect living in the Arizona desert, begins to suspect his charming wife of having an affair. Mei, a troubled grad school drop-out in Kuala Lumpur, wonders why she remembers a city she's never visited. William, a former police inspector in England, struggles with PTSD, the breakdown of his marriage, and his own secret family history. Oscar, a handsome young man with almost no memories at all, travels the world in a constant state of fear. Into these characters' lives comes Noor, an emotionally closed-off psychologist at the memory removal clinic in London, who begins to suspect her glamorous boss Louise of serious wrongdoing. Clever and propulsive, Tell Me an Ending is a speculative novel exploring what the world would be like if we were able to wipe away our worst moments. In this polyphonic tale, author Jo Harkin raises provocative questions about the nature of memory, through characters who confront new knowledge about themselves and a need for answers, meaning, connection, and story.… (més)

The very best book I have read this year, thus far. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind mixed with Memento and even a bit of Vanilla Sky. Raises all the glorious questions regarding the removal of memories and “wiping out” that which you’d like to forget. Would doing so be harmful in other ways? Is it better to heal naturally from trauma or delete it from having happened? This is a deep, suspenseful page turner that kept me riveted until the last word. HIGHLY recommend to anyone who has interest in this topic or those movies listed above. ( )

This is a story written from four different characters and their viewpoints who do something with having some of their memories removed. It's a thought-provoking story about whether it's a good idea to delete memories and about how messing with your mind and memories can affect you and your life. It's a dystopian story that causes reflection on things relating to who you are and what makes you who you are. This story gives me some vibes and reminds me a little of the world in the Matched trilogy as well as it being mentioned as it being like Black Mirror too.
Thanks to NetGalley and Scribner for letting me read and review this intriguing read. All thoughts and opinions are my own. ( )

I enjoyed this, though I think it could have had a tighter plot and been better. With so many points of view and such a crazy premise the length of this made it difficult to remember where I left certain characters the last time I saw them.
This is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind but involving many more characters. I wouldn't call it black mirror, I didn't get that vibe here. ( )

Would you delete a traumatic memory if you could? If so, would you choose to know you'd erased that memory or become one of the clinic's night patients, oblivious to the fact that you couldn't remember something of significance, something that changed your life?

And what of the moral implications? What about a company profiting from these memory removals or individuals who sidestepped legal requirements to provide this service?

The cast of characters is varied. All have had memories wiped for a variety of reasons. And all were night clients who didn't know they'd had this procedure. But now a lawsuit requires that they be notified and decide whether to have their memories restored.

An intriguing read and one that will have you thinking long after the final page. ( )

Really excellent. Complicated multiple-story structure kept mostly in control. Some believably ambiguous characters. Big ideas handled deftly and with nuance. No easy or pat answers offered to difficult questions. Some genuinely funny bits. Might have wished for a bit more differentiation of voice among protagonists (always the holy grail in such a structure), and one storyline ended up feeling a little superfluous. ( )
