From the CostaWinning Womens Prizeshortlisted author of Unsettled Ground a gripping haunting novel about memory love and survival for readers of Never Let me Go and Leave the World Behind

Neffy 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 noone 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
