The Memory of Animals - Claire Fuller

Neffy is a young woman running away from grief and guilt, and the one big mistake that has derailed her career. When a debilitating new virus sweeps across the globe, volunteering in a vaccine trial offers her a way to make up for her past. But then, the virus mutates, and the future she had dreamed of is gone.

As the London streets outside the medical unit fall silent, and food begins to run out, Neffy must decide where safety lies. Can she find solace by revisiting her own heady memories of the past? Can she trust the strangers trapped inside with her? Or is her best chance of a future to be found in the strange new world outside?

Haunting and compelling, The Memory of Animals is a novel about freedom and captivity, survival and sacrifice, and what we cling to when everything else has been taken away.
