The Chemistry Of Tears Unabridged Audio

The latest offering from Peter Carey deals with grief and joyful discovery. The newest offering from Peter Carey. Released in tandem with the book, giving customers freedom of choice right from the beginning (and maximising publicity. When Catherines secret lover dies suddenly, she has nowhere to turn to except her work. A middle-aged curator in a London museum, Catherine is given a very particular project: a box of intricate clockwork parts that appear to be the remains of a nineteenth century automaton - a beautifully made mechanical bird. When she discovers the diary of the man who commissioned the machine, she is partially rescued from one obsession by another - who was Henry Brandling, and the mysterious, visionary clockmaker he hired to make a gift for his absent son? And what was the end result that now sits in pieces in her studio? THE CHEMISTRY OF TEARS is both wildly entertaining and deeply moving, a portrait of love and loss that is simultaneously delicate and anarchic.
