The Invention of Everything Else by Samantha Hunt
Louisa is an imaginative and curious chambermaid who, while cleaning rooms at the New Yorker Hotel, stumbles across a man living permanently in room 3327, which he has transformed into a scientific laboratory.
Completely original, one of the most distinctive and unforgettable voices I've read in years * Dave Eggers *
Samantha Hunt is an exciting find - a fresh, original voice.. a fantastical love story... literary gold... It should appeal to fans of The Time Traveller's Wife and Donna Tartt * Sunday Express *
Both intelligent and compassionate... admirably ambitious... beautifully conjured * Daily Telegraph *
A beguiling mix of love, death, pigeons and time travel, it's a gem of a story about the power of imagination...An ingenious work of historical fiction * Marie Claire *
Samantha Hunt's fantasy comes closer than any biography to solving the riddle of Tesla's commercial and personal failings... The Invention of Everything Else is perfect for nights spent in the wrong hotel, once your travel plans have, as usual, gone subtly awry * New Scientist *
