How
do
you
solve
a
murder
when
you
can
only
remember
yesterday?
Imagine
a
world
in
which
classes
are
divided
not
by
wealth
or
religion
but
by
how
much
each
group
can
remember.
Monos,
the
majority,
have
only
one
day's
worth
of
memory;
elite
Duos
have
two.
In
this
stratified
society,
where
Monos
are
excluded
from
holding
high
office
and
demanding
jobs,
Claire
and
Mark
are
a
rare
mixed
marriage.
Clare
is
a
conscientious
Mono
housewife,
Mark
a
novelist-turned-politician
Duo
on
the
rise.
They
are
a
shining
example
of
a
new
vision
of
tolerance
and
equality-until...
A
beautiful
woman
is
found
dead,
her
body
dumped
in
England's
River
Cam.
The
woman
is
Mark's
mistress,
and
he
is
the
prime
suspect
in
her
murder.
The
detective
investigating
the
case
has
secrets
of
his
own.
So
did
the
victim.
And
when
both
the
investigator's
and
the
suspect's
memories
are
constantly
erased--how
can
anyone
learn
the
truth?
Told from four different perspectives, that of Mark, Claire, the detective on the case, and the victim--Felicia Yap's staggeringly inventive debut leads us on a race against an ever-resetting clock to find the killer. With the science-fiction world-building of Philip K. Dick and the twisted ingenuity ofMemento,Yesterdayis a thriller you'll never forget.

Recenzii
"To
tantalizing
degrees,
Yap
reinvents
the
unreliable
narrator
by
ingeniously
weaving
together
true,
imagined
and
fabricated
back
stories."—Lloyd
Sachs,Chicago
Tribune
"If you're into salacious plots, clever twists, and a mysterious murder, search no more."—Marie Claire
"Suspenseful, thought-provoking and uniquely relevant as it explores the pliability of memory, fidelity and factuality"—Family Circle
"Yap is a smart, swift plotter. . . . Remember her name."—Moira Macdonald,Seattle Times
"InYesterday, Felicia Yap's intricate and mind-bending debut, there's murder with malice aforethought afoot and an ambitious, chess-obsessed detective on the case. But in Yap's imagined world, unusual challenges abound... In a novel with not one but four unreliable narrators at its core, you pretty much just have to strap in and go along for the bumpalicious ride."—Daneet Steffans,Seattle Review of Books
"The thriller of the summer"—The Guardian [UK]
"[An] ingenious debut...Yap fully exploits her provocative premise."—Publishers Weekly [starred review]
"First novelist Yap has built an immersive, compelling, and terrifying world where the only truth people know is what they choose to tell themselves. For readers seeking a new spin on the unreliable narrator or fans of stories of self-deception such as Dan Chaon'sIll Willor E. Lockhart'sWe Were Liars."—Library Journal (starred review)
"A compelling debut... The piecing together of disparate memories and the surprise ending to this speculative fiction world will thrill mystery fans."—Booklist
"Makes us think differently, and more deeply, about ourselves from the world we live in... it's a twisty, well-plotted thriller and an exploration of memory itself."—Omnivoracious
"At once a high-concept thriller with a sci-fi premise and an old-school noir, Felicia Yap'sYesterdayis a tasty, satisfyingly grounded blend. A rich, rewarding debut that shows the ways that memory can betray us as painfully--and perhaps as inevitably--as those we love."—Andrew Pyper, bestselling author of The Demonologist
"An intriguing, fast-paced thriller that captivated me right from the start."—Kate Rhodes, author of Crossbones Yard
"Never has psychological crime fiction been so original, so witty and so inventive. This is an absolute firecracker of a read. I haven't enjoyed a debut this much in ages."—William Shaw, author of The Birdwatcher
"Felicia Yap takes a unique premise and rockets through this year's most clever storyline. Spectacular twists, characters as distinct as they are compelling, and a resolution absolutely no one will have seen coming makeYesterdaypropulsive read. Memory loss has never been so fun."—Michael Cooper, author of Clawback
"A great murder mystery with a unique and unsettling twist. This book delighted and confounded me in equal measure!"—James Oswald, author of Natural Causes

"Yap
is
venturing
into
new
genre
territory--dare
I
call
it
a
neuro-sci-fi
thriller?
An
ambitious
and
fascinating
twist
on
the
throwback
detective
story,
where
we
can't
guess
who
is
the
killer
and
who
is
the
victim...and
memory
itself
is
on
trial."
