In Search of Mary Shelley: The Girl Who Wrote Frankenstein by Fiona Sampson
informative
medium-paced
2.0
Fun Fact: Mary lived for decades after Percy died, but this book barely mentions her life after his death.
This book does cover much of Mary's history, strongly focusing on her years with Percy Shelley, but the chronology of the book is bizarre and not linear and the author constantly assigns motivations to people without having any supporting cause for such and assumption like a letter or documented conversation.
