SUMMARY:Tales Retold Book Club
DESCRIPTION:We will be meeting on the first Tuesday of every month\, to read and discuss original works and spin-offs or retellings based on them. \nOur November pick is a Frankenstein Retelling. \nOur Hideous Progeny by C. E. McGill. \nSummary: \nMary is the great-niece of Victor Frankenstein. She knows her great uncle disappeared in mysterious circumstances in the Arctic\, but she doesn’t know why or how… \nThe 1850s is a time of discovery\, and London is ablaze with the latest scientific theories and debates\, especially when a spectacular new exhibition of dinosaur sculptures opens at the Crystal Palace. Mary\, with a sharp mind and a sharper tongue\, is keen to make her name in this world of science alongside her geologist husband Henry\, but without wealth and connections\, their options are limited. \nBut when Mary discovers some old family papers that allude to the shocking truth behind her great-uncle’s past\, she thinks she may have found the key to securing their future… Their quest takes them to the wilds of Scotland\, to Henry’s intriguing but reclusive sister Maisie\, and to a deadly chase with a rival who is out to steal their secret.
