Description
Ewa Chaplin's dolls are more than just inanimate objects - they're people, with their own unique stories and depths. This novel tells the story of Andrew Garvie, a dollmaker who creates exquisite, antique-style dolls that seem to hold secrets of their own. When Bramber Winters answers an enigmatic personal ad, she begins to reveal her strange and sheltered life in an institution on Bodmin Moor. As they knit closer together, Andrew weaves a plan to rescue her, drawing inspiration from the fairytales of Ewa Chaplin - potent stories that pluck at the edges of reality. This is a love story about two very real people, with painful pasts and a choice to make: remain alone or break free. The novel is rich with wonders, as Andrew's quest and Bramber's letters unspool around dark fables that give our familiar world an uncanny edge.
