Synopsis of the novel

The history begins with Edinburgh in 1874. Jack is born the “coldest day from the world” with a cold heart. A midwife witch who put it at the world manages to save it while placing a clock in the place of her heart. Jack can live thus, but on the condition of winding its clock each day and to avoid any strong emotion: no anger and especially, not of feeling in love.

But Jack will fall soon in love, thus involving a voyage full with tests…
