- Synopsis
- There was once a stranger, formerly a watchmaker, now a murderer, who would become a grandfather. He spent his days in second-class compartments, evading the law, and in one of these compartments, on the London and North Eastern line, he met a student with a scar on his chin who carried a pocket watch in his left-breast pocket. It began with a chance encounter between a murderer and a student on the Flying Scotsman. A second journey would take the student to Nigeria, where his daughter – Evie Steppman – would be conceived. This is Evie's story. Born into the dying days of the British Empire, she must now write her story while she still can: her time in the womb, a feral childhood in Lagos, travels across America with her lover . . . Evie's is a strange and unusual story, which she recalls now with the help of objects that surround her – a pocket watch, a pile of maps, an encyclopaedia. Enter the world of Evie Steppman. Enter The Echo Chamber.
