About this listen

The gripping first sci-fi novel from award-winning author, director and screenwriter Neil Jordan.

In the late nineteenth century, Montagu Cartwright embarks on a new architectural project: building the Huxley Mansion on the edge of the peninsula.

In present day, Christian Cartwright works as a librarian at the Huxley Institute, a successful but mysterious organisation at the cutting-edge of medical and scientific advancements. There is the Library of Traumatic Memory, which seeks to relieve patients from their most painful memories; the Clairvoyant Program, which explores the world of dreams and their possible connection to reality; and the Forever Wing, which pushes the boundaries of human mortality.

But when one of the Institute's devices allows Christian to communicate with his recently deceased lover, Isolde, the secrets of the Institute begin to unravel and Christian must confront the true and terrible dangers that lay ahead.
