Poor Creatures
Expected release date: 20 June 2024
Godwin Baxter's scientific ambition to create the perfect companion is realised when he finds the drowned body of young Bella, whom he brings back to life in a Frankenstein-esque feat. But his dream is disturbed by Dr Archibald McCandless's jealous love for his creation… As his desire turns into obsession, Archibald's motives for freeing Bella prove to be as selfish as Godwin's, who claims her body and soul.
But what does Bella think?
Exploring her position as a woman in the shadow of patriarchy, Bella knows that it is up to her to free herself — and decide the meaning, if any, of true love in her life.
This story of true love and scientific daring takes the reader from the private operating theatres of late Victorian Glasgow to aristocratic casinos, to Alexandria's wretched life, and to a Parisian brothel.
