Mary and the Birth of Frankenstein
by Anne Eekhout
This deeply atmospheric tale is the story of Mary Shelley, author of the famous Frankenstein.
Told over two time periods, in 1812 as a young woman sent to leave with the Baxter family in Scotland. And in Italy in 1816, as a wife and mother with a talent for writing battling to free itself.
Mary explores the imagined and real origins of Frankenstein, whilst also introducing the reader to Mary herself. It’s a strong beginning and I enjoyed the read on the whole, I just felt it lost the thread a little by the end. Still, a must read for fans of gothic literature and Frankenstein itself.
