She is also born with an extraordinary gift. She can predict the weather. In Regency England, where the proper goal for a gentlewoman is marriage and only God knows the weather, this is dangerous. It is also potentially very lucrative. In order to debate with the men of science and move about freely, Neva adopts a sophisticated male disguise. She foretells the weather from inside an automaton created by her brilliant clockmaker father. But what will happen when the disguised Neva falls in love with a charismatic young man? It can be very dangerous to be ahead of your time. Especially as a woman. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for Sally Gardner:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e '[A] dab hand at literary world-creation' \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Observer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 'Rich and haunting historical fiction' \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Bookseller\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 'A glorious love story, a spellbinding fable' \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdele Parks\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 'A truly original voice' \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpectator\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 'Sally Gardner has a rare ability to build worlds that are rich, strange and totally unique to her...
