We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves

We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves is a complex and emotionally gripping novel that delves into the story of Rosemary Cooke, whose family was part of an experiment raising a chimpanzee as a human sibling.

The book explores themes of memory, identity, and the blurred lines between humans and animals, as Rosemary recounts her family's past and confronts the truth about her sister Fern's disappearance.

Through Rosemary's narrative, the novel examines the narratives we construct to cope with painful truths and the societal implications of our actions.
