The Aziola's Cry: A Novel of the Shelleys by Ezra Harker Shaw
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Just didn't really like this book too good.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.The story of Mary Shelley's early life where she meets the love of her life, Percy Shelley? I wanted to like this book more. The subjects are fascinating historical figures but the way they are presented here didn't captivate me. The pace was slow and meandering, and although told in present tense, it felt very distant. I didn't feel for any of the characters. It was nicely written and well-researched but sadly dull.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.A thoroughly delightful and lyrical historical novel. The book wove a fascinating narrative of Mary and Percy Bysshe Shelley’s relationship without painting it in rose-coloured tints or favouritism. I loved the underlying love of literature that shone in the prose, and the author gave a distinct feel of the time period. The book was captivating and immersed me as a reader within the world created on the pages.
It is also clear the author well-researched the subject matter and did a fine job in balancing the facts and the fiction.
I highly recommend this book.… (more)

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.The Aziola's Cry by Ezra Ilarker Shaw
This is a story about Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, author of Frankenstein, about the origin and development of Frankenstein in 1818 but also her unconventional (scandalous at their time) love story between her and Percy Bysshe Shelley and her tragic life experiences. A fascinating read! I enjoyed exploring and imagining how she would have coped with her difficulties and depression following the loss of her children. She was a strong and talented woman. I would definitely recommend this book, not just for fans of Frankenstein.
I received the ebook in exchange for my early review. All opinions are my own.… (more)
