The Adoration of Jenna Fox

The Adoration of Jenna Fox

A gripping, utterly engrossing dystopian thriller set in a future that may be closer than we think...

Who is Jenna Fox? 17-year-old Jenna has been told that is her name. She has just awoken from a coma, they tell her, and she is still recovering from a terrible accident in which she was involved a year ago. But what happened before that? Jenna doesn't remember her life. Or does she? And are the memories really hers?

With resonances of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, this is a very engrossing, futuristic psychological thriller about a girl brought back from the brink of death after a near-fatal accident. Desperate to save their only daughter, the parents use a highly illegal procedure to rebuild her body, memoires, and feelings- but at what cost? Set in a near-future America, this novel will take you on an unforgettable journey through questions of bio-medical ethics and the nature of humanity.
