Summary
Haunting memories defined him.
The machine took them away. She vowed to rebuild him.
From the author of The Testimony comes a Frankenstein for
the twenty-first century.
Beth lives alone on a desolate
housing estate near the sea. She came here to rebuild her
life following her husband’s return from the war.
His memories haunted him but a machine promised
salvation. It could record memories, preserving a life
that existed before the nightmares.
Now the machines are gone. The
government declared them too controversial, the
side-effects too harmful. But within Beth’s flat is
an ever-whirring black box. She knows that memories can
be put back, that she can rebuild her husband piece by
piece.
A
Frankenstein tale for the 21st century, The Machine is a
story of the indelibility of memory, the human cost of
science and the horrors of love.
