Produktbeschreibung

The Doll Factory, the gripping Sunday Times bestseller, is a gothic tale of art, obsession and delusion that will transport you to the dark underbelly of Victorian London.

London. 1850. The chance meeting between Iris Whittle, a dollmaker yearning for freedom, and Louis Frost, an artist desperate for a muse, sparks a tantalising bargain: Iris will model for Louis, in return for painting lessons. As Iris steps into a world of creativity and love, little does she realise that another man, curiosity collector Silas Reed, has become utterly enchanted by her . . .

Blissfully unaware of Silas's growing obsession, Iris embraces her new life. But it is only a matter of time before their fates intertwine, setting them on a thrilling and suspenseful collision course.

'A sharp, scary tale of love, art and obsession' - Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train
