The Double Shadow - Sally Gardner

This is so different from the other books that Sally gardner has written, I am only part way through at the moment and already interested by the moral questions that are being posed. What might it mean to take away someones memory, their past? Hope it ends well as its great so far...

'Arnold Ruben has created a memory machine, a utopia housed in a picture palace, where the happiest memories replay forever, a haven in which he and his precious daughter can shelter from the war-clouds gathering over 1937 Britain. But on the day of her seventeenth birthday Amaryllis leaves Warlock Hall and the world she has known and wakes to find herself in a desolate and disturbing place. Something has gone terribly wrong with her father's plan.'
