«La naturaleza de las lágrimas» is the contemporary novel by Peter Carey, published by Alfaguara in paperback (296 pages, in Spanish).
Catherine Gehrig, curator of the Swinburne Museum, hides her grief after the death of her lover while restoring an automaton from the museum. She discovers the notebooks of Henry Brandling, who two centuries earlier sought an artificial duck to cheer his sick son. Two loners separated by time come together around the mystery of creation.
Originally written in English, this Spanish edition was published in 2013 in Alfaguara's Literaturas collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction, with a dual timeline linking present-day London with the nineteenth century.
