The Invention of Everything Else

**New York City thrums with energy, wonder, and possibility in this magical novel about the life of Nikola Tesla.**

It is 1943, and the renowned inventor Nikola Tesla occupies a forbidden room on the 33rd floor of the Hotel New Yorker, stealing electricity. Louisa, a young maid at the hotel determined to befriend him, wins his attention through a shared love of pigeons; with her we hear his tragic and tremendous life story unfold. Meanwhile, Louisa discovers that her father—and her handsome, enigmatic love interest, Arthur Vaughan—are on an unlikely mission to travel back in time and find his beloved late wife. A masterful hybrid of history, biography, and science fiction, *The Invention of Everything Else* is an absorbing story about love and death and a wonderfully imagined homage to one of history's most visionary scientists.
