Jo Harkin studied English literature at university. She daydreamed her way through various jobs in her twenties before giving in and becoming a full-time writer. She lives in Berkshire.
Harkin's characters are drawn with wit and economy, and watching their stories dovetail is pure pleasure * The Times * Incredibly nicely written . . . [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. Expansive in its scope and themes, but never losing touch with its characters' hearts and minds, Tell Me an Ending is gripping, inventive, and a memory I'll never forget -- Emma Stonex
