A consummately wonderful writer\, twice winner of the Booker Prize\, Peter Carey makes this welcome return back to Elliott Bay—\;two years after delighting an audience here with Parrot and Olivier in America. He is here tonight with his newest novel\, The Chemistry of Tears (Knopf)\, an extraordinary tale that is secret love story\, historical mystery\, and environmental meditation\, all at once. \\" ... The incomparable Carey returns with a story of a secret grief assuaged. A museum conservator in London\, Catherine learns that her lover has died but hides her pain because he was a married man. Her boss ... seeks to help by having her work alone on a project involving a 19th-century automaton. When she discovers the diaries ... of the man who built the automaton\, she enters in an understanding of the desire for invention\, the magic of creation\, and the healing power of love.\\" – Library Journal.
