{"product_id":"9781035923298","title":"The Library of Traumatic Memory by Neil Jordan","description":"The first literary science fiction novel from Neil Jordan, visionary director of The Company of Wolves and Interview with the VampireIn a windswept corner of a forgotten peninsula, love and loss echo through the halls of a mansion built on secrets. Here memory is currency of the future, and the past refuses to stay buried.   In the year 2084, Christian Cartwright, a quiet librarian at the enigmatic Huxley Institute, spends his days archiving the world's most painful memories in the Library of Traumatic Memory. But when his lover Isolde dies in a mysterious car crash, Christian secretly resurrects her as a digital consciousness - an act of grief, obsession, and defiance.   As Christian navigates a world where memories can be edited, dreams harvested, and the dead made to speak, he uncovers a deeper conspiracy buried in the Institute's foundations - one that stretches back centuries to his 18th-century ancestor Montagu Cartwright, the architect of the Huxley Mansion.   Montagu's obsidian mirror and copper model may hold the key to a reality where architecture shapes fate and time loops back on itself.   Blending gothic mystery, speculative science, and philosophical depth, The Library of Traumatic Memory is a haunting meditation on love, loss, and the ethics of memory. As the past and future collide, Christian must decide what it means to remember - and what it costs to forget.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368492085621,"sku":"9781035923298","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781035923298.jpg?v=1763549681","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781035923298","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
