(2) YA In an alternate-universe steampunk 1818 Geneva, Alasdair Finch is responsible for killing his brother Oliver and re-animating him entirely with clockwork parts. Now, two years later, Alasdair keeps him hidden. In a retelling of Frankenstein, Lee elaborates on Shelley's themes of humanity and playing God--concerns still timely now. With masterful prose, this macabre novel is charged with unmistakable signs of life.
