Description

Brought to you by Penguin. From the Costa-Winning, Women's Prize-shortlisted author of Unsettled Ground: a gripping, haunting novel about memory, love and survival, for readers of Never Let me Go and Leave the World BehindNeffy is a young woman running away from grief and guilt and the one big mistake that has derailed her career.

When she answers the call to volunteer in a controlled vaccine trial, it offers her a way to pay off her many debts and, perhaps, to make up for the past. But when the London streets below her window fall silent, and all external communications cease, only Neffy and four other volunteers remain in the unit.

With food running out, and a growing sense that the strangers she is with may be holding back secrets, Neffy has questions that no-one can answer.

Does safety lie inside or beyond the unit? And who, or what is out there?While she weighs up her choices, she is introduced to a pioneering and controversial technology which allows her to revisit memories from her life before: a childhood divided between her enigmatic mother and her father in his small hotel in Greece.

Intoxicated by the freedom of the past and the chance to reunite with those she loves, she increasingly turns away from her perilous present.

But in this new world where survival rests on the bonds between strangers, is she jeopardising any chance of a future?The Memory of Animals is a taut and emotionally charged novel about freedom and captivity, survival and sacrifice and whether you can save anyone before you save yourself. ©2023 Claire Fuller (P)2023 Penguin Audio
