A thrilling, absorbing and immersive tale of artistry, adventure and romance. Thanks to the publisher for a proof. I really enjoyed this. The 1790s and woodcarver, Abbas works with a French artist to carve an automaton of a tiger eating a British soldier (which can really be seen in the V&A) for Mysore's leader, Tipu Sultan. When Mysore is looted, the automaton is taken, and eventually Abbas teams up with a young woman to try to get it back from an English lady. It's all great fun!
