We went to see the film of this intriguing novel a few weeks ago and were so dazzled by it, we wanted to share our enthusiasm with you, too! Set in the gaslit world of late Victorian Britain, it tells the story of two highly accomplished stage magicians. Bitter rivals, their obsessive desire to imitate and outdo each other degenerates into a feud, with effects that are still being felt by their respective families a hundred years later. At the heart of the row is an amazing illusion they both perform during their stage acts. Behind their secret is the shadowy figure of scientist and inventor Nikola Tesla. And behind the whole story is a sense of even deeper mystery. How do others reflect back to us our own inner condition? Mirror-images, twins, doubles, pairs, shadows and imitations crop up again and again throughout the story, giving it an oddly compelling quality, and a fascination that endures long after you have turned the last page.
