'Alone, in his studio, Victor Hugo weaves together the essential threads of a ripping yarn which will become his next best-selling novel. He conjures up his cast of characters, spicing their relationships with obsession, love, betrayal, sacrifice and a good dash of skulduggery.
'The Brainstorm follows the twists and turns of Hugo's romantic adventure, illuminating the challenges and tragedies of his own tumultuous life.
'The rugged, elemental seascape of Hugo's political exile is a powerful and unpredictable player in this drama of life and death.
'A theatrical exploration of the imagination and alchemy of an intellectual giant of the nineteenth century.'
