When Ariel Manto uncovers a copy of The End of Mr. Y in a second-hand bookshop, she can't believe her eyes. She knows enough about its author, the eccentric Victorian scientist Thomas Lumas, to know that copies are exceedingly rare. And, some say, cursed. With Mr. Y under her arm, Ariel finds herself swept into a thrilling adventure of love, sex, death and time-travel.

Review of 'The end of Mr. Y' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I lost patience with the goofy science and lit-crit tangents with this book from time to time, but it's a nicely original romp in the intersection of the academical thriller genre and the Neal Stephenson woo-woo science universe. And it has a sense of humor about itself which is critical. Very good fun.
