Tell me an ending : a novel / by Harkin, Jo,author.;
"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"--

The damages / by Scott, Genevieve,1978-author.;
"1997: For Ros, starting university at Regis is an opportunity for reinvention-a chance to be seen as interesting, to be accepted by the in-crowd, and maybe even get a boyfriend. But when she meets her roommate, Megan, with her pleated jeans and horse-print bedding, she decides Megan is a loser, a liability. Outside of their dorm room, Ros distances herself from Megan and quickly befriends the cool kids-she'll do anything to stay in their circle, even tell lies. Just after winter break, an intense ice storm hits campus, triggering a reckless, week-long dorm party, during which Megan goes missing. Ros is blamed for the incident and abruptly dropped by her social circle, casting a shadow over the next two decades of her life. 2020: Ros's former partner, Lukas, the father of her eleven-year-old son, is accused of a sexual assault. In an unexpected weaving of two narratives, Ros is forced to revisit a dark moment from her past, and the events for which she has always held herself responsible. As new details of an old story come to light, Ros must take a hard look not only at the father of her child, but also at her own mistakes, her own trauma, and at the supposed liberal period she grew up in. The Damages is a page-turning, thought-provoking novel on the lies we tell other people and the lies we tell ourselves."--
