Özet

Paris, 1750.

In the midst of an icy winter, as birds fall frozen from the sky, chambermaid Madeleine Chastel arrives at the home of the city's celebrated clockmaker and his clever, unworldly daughter.

Madeleine is hiding a dark past, and a dangerous purpose: to discover the truth of the clockmaker's experiments and record his every move, in exchange for her own chance of freedom.

For as children quietly vanish from the Parisian streets, rumours are swirling that the clockmaker's intricate mechanical creations, bejewelled birds and silver spiders, are more than they seem.

And soon Madeleine fears that she has stumbled upon an even greater conspiracy. One which might reach to the very heart of Versailles....

A intoxicating story of obsession, illusion and the price of freedom.

I liked this story, it was dark and mysterious with sadness lining the edges. It wasn’t difficult to keep going with this, the want to know more Kept me gripped.

Not what I expected

The book is good. The setting is atmospheric in the 18th century Paris with streets and the king's palace reeking of detritus and danger. One learns to survive, though cost of that is high. The book is elevated to the exceptional by the great narration. Penelope Rawlins gives unique voices to all of the many characters with correct pronunciation.
