Açıklama

When Mary discovers the journals belonging to her great uncle, Victor Frankenstein, she thinks she might have found a way to turn around her fate, and her reputation, around....A stunningly addictive debut for fans of The Doll Factory, The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock, and The Essex Serpent.'It is not the monster you have to fear, but the monster it makes of men.'Mary is the great-niece of Victor Frankenstein. She knows her uncle disappeared in mysterious circumstances in the Arctic but she doesn't know why or how. She and her husband are trying to make a name for themselves as paleontologists but, in 1850s' London, scientific success requires wealth and connections - neither of which they possess. But then Mary discovers some old family papers that allude to the truth behind her great-uncle's past, of his attempts to create a living being and the creature that ultimately killed him. Perhaps this idea will prove to be their salvation... Our Hideous Progeny is a sumptuous tale of ambition and obsession, of forbidden love and sabotage; a novel that blends classic, immersive storytelling with contemporary themes.
