Yes
This is such a beautiful novel. I love how the world wasn’t explained - why were the memory police doing what they were doing? No clue, other than the need for power/control. So with the characters not fighting back against them, that fact made the world even more haunting. It kind of reminds me of Broken April. This will be a reread
