SUMMARY:THE MACHINE - JAMES SMYTHE
DESCRIPTION:Beth lives alone on a desolate housing estate near the sea. She
  came here to rebuild her life following her husband’s return from the w
 ar. His memories haunted him but a machine promised salvation. It could re
 cord memories\, preserving a life that existed before the nightmares.\n\nN
 ow the machines are gone. The government declared them too controversial\,
  the side-effects too harmful. But within Beth’s flat is an ever-whirrin
 g black box. She knows that memories can be put back\, that she can rebuil
 d her husband piece by piece.\n\nA Frankenstein tale for the 21st century\
 , The Machine is a story of the indelibility of memory\, the human cost of
  science and the horrors of love.\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n‘The Machine is th
