When their friend Dog Boy escapes from St Mary's, he embarks on a journey that will dramatically alter each of their lives. In a world that has little time for those who are different, can these three outsiders find a place to belong?

In Machines for Feeling, Mireille Juchau displays all the poise and sensitivity that have brought her so much acclaim. This is a mesmerising novel about alienation, friendship, and the power of the imagination to endure.
