![]() ![]() Her father (Arlen), however, is an eccentric inventor - though an old and sickly one - who wishes his daughter had a taste for adventure and a desire to see the world beyond Lugtown. Her life is stable, predictable, comfortably frugal - and not that interesting. Marinda is a very practical woman who reflects the culture of clockwork order the creator of Albion (The Watchmaker) has wrought. She, unlike the main character in ”Clockwork Angels” (Owen Hardy), is quite content with her life. ”Clockwork Lives” centers on Mirinda Peake who lives in the unappealingly named ”Lugtown” with her father. Anderson wrote a novel based on Rush’s concept album, ”Clockwork Angels.” My review at the time noted that while the prose was somewhat distant and the themes too stark for me to connect to, I also noted that the secondary characters seemed more fully drawn than the protagonist.įlash-forward to 2015, and Anderson along with Neil Peart have revisited the world they created with ”Clockwork Angels” to focus on some secondary characters who appeared in the first novel.
