SECRET MEMOIRS
OF MARY SHELLEY

SPECULATIVE AUTOBIOGRAPHY REGENCY
LOVE STORY OF THE ROMANTICS

The real love story of Frankenstein. Two teenage girls and the romantic poet of “free love” walk across war ravaged France to Switzerland and up the Rhine River to a castle called Frankenstein on an intimate journey of love, sexual awakening, self-discovery, philosophy and ideas, and find the real inspiration for the most famous name in literature. In a recently discovered secret autobiography, Mary Shelley reveals the intimate truth of that trip, the story of a rivalry between two sisters.

“An entertaining ‘collaboration’, exhaustively researched, skillfully adapted…long on memorable characters that will make readers see the seminal classic Frankenstein in a new light.” Historic Novel Society

“A great read. Haunting and involving. We hear Mary Shelly in her own words writing in her journal; telling us her story. A great blend of truth and good story telling.” Amazon
