Cut off from nature, Warlow soon begins losing his grip on sanity while, above ground, Powyss rapidly becomes obsessed with Warlow's wife, Hannah.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe experiment, a classic Enlightenment exercise gone more than a little mad, will have unforeseen consequences for all included. In this seductive tale of self-delusion and obsession, Alix Nathan has created an utterly transporting historical novel which is both elegant and unforgettably sinister. One of 2019's most high-profile hardback publications, now out in paperback.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeatured on Radio Four's Book at Bedtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBBC History Magazine Best Historical Fiction of 2019.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35022968389785,"sku":"9781788161701","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/products\/9781788161701_439aadad-f895-4408-832c-dbf16985a727.jpg?v=1601405846","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9781788161701","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
