BLOG TOUR: The Missing Wife by Donna Gowland. Mary Shelley turns sleuth in this cosy historical mystery that blends have and fiction reimagining Shelley's early life and travels. 💙📚⚡️ #BookSky
BLOG TOUR REVIEW: The Missing Wife by Donna Gowland
Mary Shelley: Philosopher. Writer. Sleuth? In 1814, 16 year old Mary Godwin escapes London to be with the love of her life, Percy Bysshe Shelley, with her step sister Jane tagging along for the adventure. They head to France, following in the footsteps of Mary’s mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, but it doesn’t take long for the reality to set in, in this beautifully written blend of fact and fiction.
