Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Veronica Bennett's lush reimagining of the life of Mary Shelley — on the eve of her authorship of the classic gothic novel Frankenstein — is a gripping story of love and obsession. In the spring of 1814, poet Percy Shelley enters the life of young Mary Godwin like an angel of deliverance. Seduced by his radical and romantic ideas, she flees with him and her stepsister to Europe, where they forge a hardscrabble life while mingling with other free-spirited artists and poets. Frowned on by family and society, persecuted by gossip, and plagued by jealousy, Mary becomes haunted by freakish imaginings and hideous visions. As tragedy strikes, not once but time and again, Mary begins to realize that her dreams have become nightmares, and her angel . . . a monster. Now the time has finally come for the young woman who would become Mary Shelley to set her monster free. Synopsis:Captures all the bliss and folly of Mary Shelley's disastrous surrender to love, and the sorrowful steps by which she became the author of Frankenstein. — NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW In 1814, poet Percy Shelley enters the life of young Mary Godwin like an angel of deliverance.
