“Rather hard work this one and not as rewarding as others by the author.
The story is of a woman who has lost her lover and struggles to deal with the grief. She is a horologist and her boss gives her a plum job to construct a mechanical bird. This bird was a labour of love for a father to create for his son 200 years previously. Good and memorable in parts.
