piyali 's review for:
The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein
by Kiersten White
Kiersten White asks in her author's note, "How much of who we are is shaped by those around us?" She goes on to answer that question in her brilliant retelling of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Mary Shelley's work made a profound mark on me when I read it for the first time in Bengali as a child. It was more fascinating to read as a young adult and then study Mary Shelley's life in college. I really loved the psychological explorations of White's female protagonist, Elizabeth, as she helpscreate and then nurture Victor Frankenstein to be the man that he turned out to be. Very intelligent work. I loved it.
