Publisher's Summary
October 1840. A young woman staggers alone through a forest in the English countryside as a huge pair of impossible wings rip themselves from her shoulders. In London, rumors of a fallen angel cause a frenzy across the city, and a surgeon desperate for fame and fortune finds himself in the grips of a dangerous obsession, one that will place the women he seeks in the most terrible danger...
The Gifts is an astonishing novel, a spellbinding tale told through five different perspectives and set against the luminous backdrop of nineteenth-century London. It explores science, nature and religion, enlightenment, the role of women in society, and the dark danger of ambition.
What the critics say
"Narrator Tuppence Middleton offers distinct, character-appropriate voices to engage listeners, from a lord’s sneer as he disinherits his half-sister for being mixed-race to Orkney Islands brogue [...] An excellent pick for fans of Naomi Novik."—Library Journal
