Little Spark, (Audiobook)

<b>From the bestselling author of <i>Things in Jars</i> and <i>The Night Ship</i> comes a spellbinding gothic novel in which lifelike machines walk, old bones lie buried beneath the marsh grass, and a young woman born crackling with power confronts the terrible truth of her origins.</b> <p><i>A secret cannot stay locked away forever...</i> </p><p> Bodkin Bell, orphan, pickpocket and survivor, doesn't know where she came from, but she knows she's different. Gaslights flare as she walks past. Cutlery spins. Shocks fly from her fingertips. </p><p> For years, she was 'Little Spark', the star of an electrifying sideshow--until the act went too far and she ended up in a London gaol. </p><p> Now she's been offered a way out. A chance to serve at Point Mote, a vast, desolate house marooned on the misty Kent marshes. There, she will assist a reclusive family of cunning inventors in the creation of automata: miraculous, lifelike machines for which gentlemen collectors will pay handsomely. </p><p> But this house of wonders hides mysteries too. As Bodkin starts to question why she is really there, she unearths secrets that have been buried bone-deep for years--and a truth beyond all imagining. One that was never meant to be found.</p>
