About this Item
An unread copy direct from the publisher, signed 'Anna Smaill' to the title page. The authors debut novel, longlisted for the Booker Prize 2015. A boy stands by the roadside on his way to London, alone in the rain. No memories, beyond what he can hold in his hands at any given moment. No directions, as written words have long since been forbidden. No parents - just a melody that tugs at him, a thread to follow, A song that says if he can just get to the capital, he may find some answers about what happened to them. Welcome to the world of The Chimes. Here, life is orchestrated by a vast musical instrument that renders people unable to form new memories. The past is a mystery, each new day feels the same as the last, and before is a blasphomy. But, slowly, Simon is beginning to remember. He emerges from sleep each morning with a pricking feeling, a sense there is something he urgently has to do. In the city Simon meets Lucien, who has a gift for hearing, some secrets of his own, and a theory about the danger lurking in Simon's past. Seller Inventory # 003002
