The Dark Unwinding by Sharon Cameron
Scholastic, September 2012
Katharine Tulman is an
orphan whose survival depends on her ability to figure accounts for her
aunt. Hearing that her uncle may be squandering her cousin's
inheritance, Katharine is sent to his estate to declare him insane and
have him committed. But what she finds is a childlike man with a genius
for creating clockwork and an entire village rescued from the poorhouses
who support him. Katharine must choose between her future and that of
the village, and on the estate, she's experiencing the first days of
freedom she's ever known. Madness and mystery, fortunes and romance, The
Dark Unwinding is the fantastic result of mixing clockwork and Jane
Eyre-- steampunk fans will cry for more.
