{"product_id":"love-sex-and-frankenstein-a-novel","title":"Love, Sex, and Frankenstein: A Novel","description":"An evocative, haunting retelling of the summer that should have broken Mary Shelley, but instead inspired her to write her masterpiece.\n\nA New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice\n\nVilla Diodati, Lake Geneva, 1816: the dark summer that birthed a monster.\n\nEighteen-year-old Mary Shelley has fled London with her lover, Percy Shelley, and her sister, Claire. Tormented by Shelley’s betrayals, haunted by the loss of their baby, and suspicious of her sister’s intentions, Mary seeks a refuge.\n\nBut Lord Byron’s villa, lying under ominous, ash-shrouded skies, feels more like a trap. When Byron suggests each guest write a supernatural tale, Mary is as drawn to the challenge as she is, unexpectedly, to Byron himself.\n\nAnd so an idea begins to form in her mind . . . It spills out of her in thick, black ink. A thing given life by her imagination.\n\nDay and night, it possesses her. Her heart, her desires.\n\nBut is she in control, or is it?\n\nIn this hauntingly evocative feminist retelling, Caroline Lea delves into the female rage, creative madness and steamy scandal that bore the world's most famous work of gothic fiction.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1639369694\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1639369694.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lea, Caroline\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
