Winner of the Whitbread Novel Award and the Guardian Fiction Prize
A life without freedom to choose is not worth having.
Godwin Baxter's scientific ambition to create the perfect companion is realized when he finds the drowned body of the beautiful Bella, who he brings back to life in a Frankenstein-esque feat. But his dream is thwarted by Dr. Archibald McCandless's jealous love for his creation...
But what does Bella think?
This story of true love and scientific daring whirls the listeners from the private operating-theatres of late-Victorian Glasgow through aristocratic casinos, low-life Alexandria and a Parisian bordello, reaching an interrupted climax in a Scottish church.
'A magnificently brisk, funny, dirty, brainy book' London Review of Books
'Visionary, ornate and outrageous' The Independent
'Witty and delightfully written' New York Times
'A brilliant marriage of technique, intelligence, and art.' Kirkus Reviews
