torturedheart 's review for:

Mary or the Birth of Frankenstein by Anne Eekhout

5.0

my first favorite of the year! if you know me you know i am an absolute mary shelley devotee! frankenstein is one of my favorite books and this story is a fictionalized account of mary shelley writing the novel with a dual timeline of her as a young teenager. it’s also chock full of sapphic longing and gothicism. the prose is absolutely gorgeous. just a perfect novel all around!!!
