Brian and Charles

Brian and Charles follows Brian, a lonely inventor in rural Wales who spends his days building quirky, unconventional contraptions that seldom work. Undeterred by his lack of success, Brian attempts his biggest project yet. Three days, a washing machine, and various spare parts later, he’s invented Charles, an artificially intelligent robot who learns English from a dictionary and has an obsession with cabbages. What follows is a humorous and entirely heartwarming story about loneliness, friendship, family, finding love, and letting go.

"Sweet, funny, weird, and heartwarming"
Alissa Wilkinson, Vox
"Very British and very quirky...a delight"
Esther Zuckerman, Thrillist
