520 $aHaunting memories defined him. The machine took them away. She vowed to rebuild him. From the author of The Testimony comes a Frankenstein for the twenty-first century. Beth lives alone on a desolate housing estate near the sea. She came here to rebuild her life following her husband's return from the war. His memories haunted him but a machine promised salvation. It could record memories, preserving a life that existed before the nightmares. Now the machines are gone. The government declared them too controversial, the side-effects too harmful. But within Beth's flat is an ever-whirring black box. She knows that memories can be put back, that she can rebuild her husband piece by piece. A Frankenstein tale for the 21st century, The Machine is a story of the indelibility of memory, the human cost of science and the horrors of love.
505 0 $aBeth lives alone on a desolate housing estate near Portsmouth. She came here to rebuild her life. Her husband returned from the war, tormented. They said they could save him. There was a machine. They said it could record his memories, preserve a life that existed before the nightmares. She had no choice. The machine saved him in a way. Now he lives in an institution, amongst a sea of others. She should be grateful. They said he was one of the lucky ones; at least he came back from the war. Now the machines are gone. They declared them too controversial, the side-effects too harmful. But within Beth's flat is an ever-whirring black box. She knows that memories can be put back, that she can rebuild her husband one memory at a time.
