Hearts of Oak by Eddie Robson, 265 pages
For as long as she can remember, Iona has been an architect in the city, designing all manner of buildings in the constantly expanding, constantly changing built environment. But when one of her colleagues dies the same week that an odd young woman appears in her office, things start to seem a bit odd to her. Soon, she's discovering that not everything is as it seems, and questioning the world around her.
This is a quirky, odd book, unlike anything I've read. In fact, I'd say it's much more like a Doctor Who episode, as it manages to combine wooden automatons and aliens and a talking cat. There are some definite plot holes here, but it's still worth a read, as it's just so strange and quirky.
