This process of discovery and revision is, I suppose, what people mean when they talk about ‘the characters taking over’ during the writing of a novel.

In the case of this book, Tremain writes that she was inspired by the greed of 1980s Britain. I’m not used to an author explicitly telling me what they were thinking. Normally, I ignore forewords, introductions, prefaces, and afterwords, but I’m glad that I read Rose Tremain’s notes about the writing of Restoration when I finished the book. ![]() The clockwork dagger6/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Cody was left with full power to continue his experimentation. ![]() The book’s plot pushed along pretty fast, and Mr. The green-skinned winged menaces are both hideous and cute, though the manner of their creation is cruel beyond comprehension.
