Merrick Tremayne, a botanist, lives there with his older brother. The story of The Bedlam Stacks is set a couple of decades before Watchmaker, and begins in Cornwall – at what we will come to know as “The Lost Gardens of Heligan” though here they are not totally lost yet!
Now Bloomsbury have done it again, giving Pulley’s second novel an equally eye-catching cover with a cut-out clockwork lamp, and I was very keen to read it indeed. A period thriller with hints of steampunk fantasy, and a matching beautiful cover design complete with cutout watch dial, it became an instant favourite of the year. Natasha Pulley’s debut novel, The Watchmaker of Filigree Street (which I reviewed here in 2015), was a wonderful discovery.
