(2) YA In this first-person, present-tense verse novel, Hemphill tracks Mary Godwin Shelley's actions and emotions from the time she becomes infatuated with poet Percy Bysshe Shelley through their scandalous elopement, penury, European travels, and the births and deaths of their several children--up to Percy's drowning on an ill-conceived sailing trip. A good beginning for readers curious about the author of Frankenstein. Reading list.
