New Review: Requiem for the Author of Frankenstein
Michele Jacobsen, who describes herself as an “Intrepid Reader and Reviewer at Large for A Reader’s Respite” has reviewed Requiem for the Author of Frankenstein. The Reader’s Respite has twice won the Internet’s “Neat Award.” Michele starts off by explaining how she came to read Requiem—an explanation that thrills… She found it on her own on Amazon.com, was simply drawn to the title!
Here’s just a taste of what Michele has to say:
I thought I was getting an historical fiction novel about author Mary Shelley. What I received was so much more. Requiem, and you’ll forgive me for shortening the title, manages to defy any one genre: part historical fiction, part Gothic romance with a healthy dose of magical realism. It is the story of author Mary Shelley and her extraordinary, unconventional (and that is putting it mildly) life as experienced by Anna, a modern day American scholar on a research trip to England.
and farther into it, this:
The superb narrative in Requiem is so compelling that the reader receives a first-rate education in Romanticism without realizing it. Ms. Dwyer demonstrates a command of the time period with accurate historic details and realistic dialogue, neither of which bogs down the narrative. The story immerses you in an exciting period of literary history when boundaries were pushed and broken.
Under the comments, one of her readers has added: “I have a friend who read this book and said it was really, really good.” Please check out the whole review at Readers Respite.
