"A page-turning psychological thriller" (Essie Fox, author of The Somnambulist) that will haunt you long after you finish it, The Doll Factory is perfect for fans of The Alienist, Drood, and The Historian. Macneal writes wonderfully pithy descriptions but they. Never crossed my mind and doesnt seem likely. Silas has only thought of one thing since that chance meeting, and his obsession is darkening by the day. The Doll Factory conjures 1850s London in all its grime and glory, possibility and restriction in absorbing, immersive detail. The Doll Factory is a page-turner, make no mistake, but this is a rare instance when readers might have preferred the writer to slow down. Debra Petersen (Queen of Historical Fiction) This is an adult novel. Suddenly, her world begins to expand beyond her wildest dreams - but she has no idea that evil is waiting in the shadows. When Iris is asked to model for Pre-Raphaelite artist Louis Frost, she agrees on the condition that he will also teach her to paint. For Iris, an arrestingly attractive aspiring artist, it is a brief and forgettable moment, but for Silas, a curiosity collector enchanted by all things strange and beautiful, the meeting marks a new beginning. In 1850s London, the Great Exhibition is being erected in Hyde Park, and among the crowd watching the dazzling spectacle, two people meet by happenstance.
In this " sharp, scary, gorgeously evocative tale of love, art, and obsession" (Paula Hawkins, best-selling author of The Girl on the Train ), a beautiful young woman aspires to be an artist, while a man’s dark obsession may destroy her world forever. The Doll Factory is the intoxicating story of a young woman who aspires to be an artist, and the man whose obsession may destroy her world for ever.
