About this listen
Love is made of more than mere flesh and blood....
For 16-year-old Jane, life is a mystery she despairs of ever mastering. She and her friends are the idle, pampered children of the privileged class, living in luxury on an Earth remade by natural disaster. Until Jane's life is changed forever by a chance encounter with a robot minstrel with auburn hair and silver skin, whose songs ignite in her a desperate and inexplicable passion.
Jane is certain that Silver is more than just a machine built to please. And she will give up everything to prove it. So, she escapes into the city's violent, decaying slums to embrace a love bordering on madness. Or is it something more? Has Jane glimpsed in Silver something no one else has dared to see - not even the robot or his creators? A love so perfect it must be destroyed, for no human could ever compete?

Critic reviews
"The strengths of [The Silver Metal Lover] lie in the vivid vision of [Lee's] world - exotic and a little frightening, but quite believable.... One of Lee's most fully realized creations." (Publishers Weekly)

My love, my body sighs with every step
Good potrayal of a suffering sixteen year old in love, irritations and all. Set in an interesting world. Didn’t think I’d enjoy it this much. Consistent narration. Many manny horrible characters.

A love story, wonderment, surprise, joy & sadness
A far reaching ambitious fantasy exploring a not so far distant future scenario, where we question what is sentience, be it artificial or organic. written through the eyes of an naive innocent, amongst Peet's and Parents, with a touch of amusement and heart felt desire for a happy ending....
