In The Clockwork Girl, Anna Mazzola takes 'The Vanishing Children of Paris of 1750' and creates a historical, gothic tale of three women from different backgrounds -
Madeleine, daughter of a vicious brothel keeper.
Veronique, who has recently returned home (to her father, the city 's famous clockmaker) from a harsh convent education
Jeanne (Madame Pompadour), mistress to King Louis XV
- and the lengths they will go to for the freedom to take control of their own lives.
