Out of the Shadows
ByPublisher Description
A woman's unexpected connection to a nineteenth-century writer changes her life in the new novel from the author of Crossing Washington Square
Clara Fitzgerald's recent losses have set her adrift, personally and professionally. Remembering the stories her mother used to tell her, Clara decides to research her ancestry-only to uncover an extraordinary link to Frankenstein author Mary Shelley. With her sister in tow and the help of Kay, a retired Shelley scholar, Clara embarks on a search for the author's long lost journals and letters. As a bond among the three women grows, and as the profound connection between the past and present deepens, Clara comes closer to realizing where her heart truly belongs.

“3.5
Going through the reviews I really feel people were to hard on this book. I loved the whole Mary Shelly vibe. I enjoyed the story very much. I did not care much for the romance aspect I did feel that the author wrote it as a 15 year old girl. Other then that I did like this book.”

“some interesting parts, enough to keep me going with it. I suppose because the main character was compelling. Hated the ending, though--not the postscript but the way the husband element ended. SO UNREALISTIC. Will say no more or risk spoiling it.”
