The rich and atmospheric new novel from prize-winning author Sally Gardner, set in the 18th century between the two great Frost Fairs.

Neva Friezland is born into a world of trickery and illusion, where fortunes can be won and lost on the turn of a card.

She is also born with an extraordinary gift. She can predict the weather. In Regency England, where the proper goal for a gentlewoman is marriage and only God knows the weather this is dangerous. It is also potentially very lucrative.

In order to debate with the men of science and move about freely, Neva adopts a sophisticated male disguise. She foretells the weather from inside an automaton created by her brilliant clockmaker father.

But what will happen when the disguised Neva falls in love with a charismatic young man?

It can be very dangerous to be ahead of your time. Especially as a woman.©2022 Sally Gardener (P)2022 Head of Zeus Fantasy Historical Historical Fiction Horror Kurgu Regency Renaissance

The story explores what it must be like to live in a time when you are less free due to your sex or class. Very interesting as a concept.

An interesting historical fiction

I really enjoyed the story and it's mixed of historical detail and the more magical. A woman who knows what the weather will be like in the future because she can sense it. It's a great romance as well.

Historical fiction with a difference

This story reads like a river running in and about the characters, pulling you along from one event to the next. Pure magical storytelling leaves you wanting more. The narrator miraculously has you engaged with each character individually, using only small intonations in her voice but along with the descriptions styles each different characters emerges effortlessly. I shall be looking up other things she has narrated & wait impatiently for the next Sally Gardner tale.

Wonderful story telling by a magnificent narrator
