Not a traditional science fiction or fantasy novel, ‘We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves’ unravels the peculiar tale of the Cooke family, notably through the life of the protagonist, Rosemary. As the narrative unfolds, a tragic family secret comes to light: Rosemary’s sister Fern, who she believed was sent away due to her troublesome behavior, was actually a chimpanzee used in a radical experiment. The tale reflects on human and animal relationships, memory, and communication.
