Love and Other Monsters is by Emily Franklin. A lively historical fiction recounting of the summer spent by the Shelleys, Lord Byron and others on the shoers of Lake Geneva. The tale is told through the eyes of Mary Shelley's stepsister, Claire. Claire is all but absent from the history of this summer. Franklin's novel proposes a reason for this. This novel is dark and propulsive. I enjoyed it more than I had expected.
Ratings: Adult - 8 out of 10 - AC (mature thematic content).
