Her Lost Words: A Novel of Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley by Stephanie Marie Thornton

3.0

This novel is the story of two literary icons, Mary Wollstonecraft and her daughter, Mary Shelley. To say I didn't get confused with two main characters named "Mary" would be an understatement. These women were truly ahead of their time. Thornton gives voice to their stories, bringing them to life for the reader.

I learned about two women in literature I had zero knowledge. While this book wasn't a perfect read for me, others I'm sure will love it and what it shares. While fictional, I am sure bits are true to the journey each took to transform the world with their words.

Thank you Berkey Publishing for the complimentary copy.
