41: History, magic and a touch of sci-fi with Sean Lusk


Listen Later

You might recall today's guest's voice from our previous Nairn Book & Arts Festival preview, but today Sean Lusk is here talking to us about his wonderful debut novel The Second Sight of Zachary Cloudesley.


The book is an adventure through time and space - we travel between Britain and the Ottoman empire in the 18th century, explore the complex relationship between father and son, and very much this is an immersive story and emotional rollercoaster.


We spoke to Sean about the book, his research into awe-inspiring historical characters, automata and short stories.
