The Monster's Wife

Viac o knihe

A literary gothic, in the tradition of Jean Rhys s Wide Sargasso Sea and Valerie Martin s Mary Reilly. A startling new sequel to Mary Shelley s classic novel Frankenstein. Told from the perspective of the girl Victor Frankenstein transformed into a Bride for his monster. To a tiny island in the Scottish Orkneys, peopled by a devout community of twenty, comes Victor Frankenstein, driven there by a Devil's bargain: to make a wife for the Creature who is stalking him across Europe. In this darkly-wrought answer to Frankenstein, we hear the untold tale of the monster's wife through the perspective of the doctor's housemaid."
