London 2011. Catherine Gehrig, conservator at the Swinburne museum,
learns of the unexpected death of her lover of thirteen years - but
as the mistress of a married man, she has to grieve in private. Her
employer at the museum, aware of Catherine's grief, gives her a
special project - to piece together both the mechanics and the
story of an extraordinary automaton, commissioned in the nineteenth
century by Henry Brandling to amuse his dying son. Linked by the
mysterious automaton, Catherine and Henry's stories intertwine
across time to explore the mysteries of life and death, the miracle
and catastrophe of human invention and the body's astonishing
chemistry of love and feeling.
