A gothic science-fiction thriller, Observatory details the
entangled lives of four people across two centuries Observatory is
set at the Armagh Observatory and Museum for Astronomy and Natural
Philosophy, in both 1799 and 1999. Historian Jon McKenna, hired to
compile a computerised catalogue of the Observatory archives, finds
his life becoming entangled with that of Nicola McLoughlin,
assistant astronomer at the Observatory. Together they work to
uncover the two-hundred-year-old story of astronomer Archibald
Hamilton and his assistant Robert Hogg - man of science, man of
God, and revolutionary. The Observatory, a symbol of both science
and religion, becomes the setting for a powerful exploration of
nationhood and revolution, love and betrayal."The writing is
inspired, deceptively subtle behind its up-front bile and cracked
humour" (Guardian)
