Description
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.
