โœฆ Synopsis


A heroine, a book, a curse, a portal and a race against (or possibly around) time.

When Ariel Manto, perpetual PhD candidate (impoverished), uncovers a copy of The End of Mr. Y in a second-hand bookshop, she can't believe her eyes. She knows enough about its author, the outlandish Victorian scientist Thomas Lumas, to know that copies are exceedingly rare. And, some say, cursed. With Mr. Y under her arm, Ariel finds herself thrust into a thrilling adventure of love, sex, death and time-travel.

'Smart, stylish, and dizzying...A wholly enchanting alternate universe.' New York Times Book Review
