Last night in montreal (Pan Macmillan)

Lilia has been leaving people behind her entire life. Having spent her childhood traveling constantly - homeless and identityless - as an adult she finds it impossible to stop. Haunted aby her inability to remember her early childhood, and żeby a mysterious shadow that seems to dog her wherever she goes, Lilia moves restlessly from city to city, abandoning lovers and friends along with way. But then she meets Eli, and he's not ready to let her go, not without a fight. The world of Emily St. John Mandel's first novel is gritty and youthful, charged with tension and foreboding. Last Night in Montreal is a fascinating and thrilling novel about love and amnesia, the depths and limits of family bonds and the things obsession leads us to do.
