The Chemistry Of Tears by Peter Carey
A grieving museum conservator becomes obsessed with restoring an intricate, mysterious nineteenth‑century automaton, and as she tracks down its maker and history a parallel Victorian tale of invention, loss and forbidden love unfolds; the two narratives intertwine to examine grief, the yearning for human connection and whether mechanical reconstruction can ever heal emotional rupture.
