We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler

I read this February 2015
For Waterstones book Club
 Warning PLOT SPOILER ALERT
The story centres around a girl called Rosemary who is bought up for the first 5/6 years of her life alongside a chimp called Fern.  You don't find this out until about page 77.  It is a book of family dynamics and sibling rivalry.  When Fern kills a kitten she's sent away - the plot starts with Rosie looking back and trying to remember sequences of events.   The incident led to her brother Loweel leaving home and becoming an animal rights acitivist

I really enjoyed this

9/10
