WINNER OF A BETTY TRASK AWARD 2016
SHORTLISTED FOR THE AUTHORS' CLUB BEST FIRST NOVEL AWARD
LONGLISTED FOR THE DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD 2017
Thaniel Steepleton returns from his job at the Home Office to his tiny flat only to find a gold pocketwatch lying on his pillow. When the watch then saves Thaniel's life in a blast that destroys Scotland Yard, he goes in search of its maker, Keita Mori - a kind, lonely Japanese immigrant.
Meanwhile, Grace Carrow is sneaking into an Oxford library, desperate to prove the existence of the luminiferous ether before her mother can force her to marry.
As the lives of these three characters become entwined, events spiral out of control until Thaniel is torn between loyalties, futures and opposing geniuses.

So glad I started reading the english original rather than the german translation, which is crap.
I fell in love with the characters and the setting.
The fantasy elements were a positive suprise.
Good start, but..

The end felt quite rushed, forced, and unsatisfying to me. As if it was edited in or slapped on rather than planned. From the time Mori and Grace meet onwards, things just seem incohesive to me.
