I was a little apprehensive about reading The Silver Metal Lover, just as I am with all of my childhood favourites. 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? Goodreads So she escapes into the city’s violent, decaying slums to embrace a love bordering on madness. And she will give up everything to prove it. Jane is certain that Silver is more than just a machine built to please. 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. She and her friends are the idle, pampered children of the privileged class, living in luxury on an Earth remade by natural disaster. For sixteen-year-old Jane, life is a mystery she despairs of ever mastering.
