Best book gift by an unknown author I've ever received. Fantasy/Magic realism set in Victorian London. Thaniel tracks down the origin of a watch which pre-set alarm saves him from a bombing. He meets an eccentric builder of mechanics among them an octopus called Katsu. This watchmaker seems to want to be-friend Thaniel, but there is some mystery to him.

Interesting characters, drama and a very gentle love story between the two men.

The novel is a bit unusual - fantastical, perhaps. I find Natasha Pulley's books - the two I've read - quite intriguing. I like the way she writes. It is fresh and original

@rosjackson On the literary/historical fiction, I'd thoroughly recommend Natasha Pulley: The Watchmaker of Filigree Street, The Kingdoms, The Half Life of Valery K. #NatashaPulley
