Mary Shelley, the daughter of renowned philosopher William Godwin and the esteemed Mary Wollstonecraft, embarked on a life filled with both challenges and triumphs. Tragedy struck early when Mary's mother passed away shortly after her birth, leaving her father to remarry. However, amidst the sorrow, a glimmer of light emerged in the form of Percy Bysshe Shelley, a poet who became a close friend of Godwin and a frequent visitor to his home. Despite being married with young children, Shelley's eyes were drawn to Mary, and when she reached the age of sixteen, they embarked on a daring elopement to Italy, defying societal conventions and expectations.
Throughout her life, Mary Shelley grappled with financial difficulties, often forced to move frequently to evade her creditors. Despite this challenging situation, she tolerated Shelley's philandering and financial struggles, displaying a remarkable resilience and love for her husband. However, the specter of Lord Byron's friendship with Shelley added another layer of concern to Mary's life. At eighteen, Mary began writing Frankenstein, a novel that would not only cement her place in literary history but also bring her enduring fame.
After Shelley's untimely death from drowning in Italy, Mary returned to London, determined to pursue her own writing career. In her novel Wendy Bardsley, the author has skillfully captured the intensity of Mary's early life, her troubled marriage, and the profound impact it had on her artistic journey. This remarkable book stands as a testament to Mary Shelley's talent and serves as an excellent addition to the genre of historical fiction.
