Natasha Pulley’s Watchmaker of Filigree Street series begins in 1883 London, where telegraph clerk Thaniel Steepleton receives a mysterious gold pocket watch that saves his life during a bombing. His search for the watchmaker leads him to Keita Mori, a quiet Japanese craftsman who seems to remember the future. The first novel, published in 2015, won a Betty Trask Award and remained on the Sunday Times bestseller list for much of 2016.
The sequel, The Lost Future of Pepperharrow (2020), moves the story to 1880s Japan, where Thaniel and Mori travel to a British legation haunted by ghosts. Mori is frightened by something he cannot or will not explain, and then he vanishes. The second book expands the world Pulley built in the first, exploring how Mori’s ability to perceive the future shapes and strains his relationships. Together, the two novels form a complete story about memory, free will, and the cost of knowing what comes next.
