We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves, by Karen Joy Fowler

We Are Completely Beside Ourselves is a surprising and moving growing-up narrative with a twist. Karen Fowler's novel was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2014. Although it is rather straightforward in the retrospective telling of the childhood of the protagonist, Rosemary Cooke who is now a university student, the unusual aspect of the story (can't mention it if I want to avoid spoiling the plot) adds interest. It is movingly told and has a tragic aspect as well. Worth the read.
