Marcel Berlins in the Times also found ambition – too much of it: “This novel has its intriguing attributes,” he wrote. ![]() The Evening Standard’s Katie Law declared it “altogether more ambitious than TGOTT, with a much bigger cast of characters, a historical element – witches – and not just your basic twist but a continuum of twists that, well, keep on twisting …”. The Independent’s Sally Newall was “semi-gripped”, but “got to the end and found it hard to care about the final reveal, mostly because it’s hard to keep track of and emotionally invest in the myriad of characters … A good beach read, yes, but one that you may have forgotten by the time you’ve come back from your next dip in the sea.” The New Statesman’s Leo Robson was one of several critics to identify “signs of growth and greater ambition”, concluding that “ Into the Water is on a par with The Girl on the Train – and of a piece with it, too”. A fter the stratospheric success of The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins faces that difficult next novel test with her new book about a drowned woman, Into the Water. ![]()

![]() And, to be fair, a plotlet involving werebeings from India who want autonomy and who do NOT want to be allied with the British Crown, thanks ever so, does show up…eventually. This sounds so studiously innocuous that I was certain for most of the book that it was merely an inane cover story and that Prudence-pardon me, Rue-would deduce this at some point and then get involved in something dashing and adventurous and not remotely respectable. ![]() The premise is that Alexia's daughter, Prudence, is sent to India by Lord Akeldama, ostensibly to investigate some tea plants. This is definitely not the book I was expecting. I pre-ordered this book precisely because I loved Alexia's story so much and I couldn't wait to read more about her and her daughter being awesome together in steampunk supernatural London. I don't know when I've been so disappointed in a book. ![]() ![]() ![]() I believe no ingenious person will deny this engine to have the preference in all respects, being of more universal use than any yet discovered or invented.Įarly steam engines featured a round boiler that burned coal to generate steam. In his 1702 pamphlet, The Miner’s Friend, Savery speculated that the new device might have wide applications: The engine was, nevertheless, a marked improvement on the ‘engine to raise water by fire’ invented by Thomas Savery, whose pioneering work – overshadowed by his more famous successors Newcomen, Matthew Boulton and James Watt – is little recognised today. Fed by coal, belching smoke and steam, the amazing machine seemed likely to explode at any moment, as indeed many of its predecessors had – the steam engine being at that stage of its development an imperfect design. It must have struck local peasants as a rather dangerous contraption. ![]() In 1712, a Englishman named Thomas Newcomen built a most unusual ‘engyn’ on the estates of Lord Dudley, a Staffordshire grandee. ![]() |
