Emily Franklin discusses her novel Love & Other Monsters, narrated by Claire Clairmont, Mary Shelley’s “dangerously loyal stepsister,” who spent the stormy summer of 1816 on Lake Geneva with the Shelleys, Byron and Polidori, the months that produced Frankenstein and the modern vampire. Franklin has written more than twenty books, among them The Lioness of Boston, a novel based on the life of Isabella Stewart Gardner.
Thu Nov 5 · 6:30pm
Janis Robinson Daly discusses her novel Under Two Flags, in which eighteen-year-old Josephine Therese Marzynski leaves Boston in 1916 to study opera in Berlin and, when America enters the war in 1917, goes "from welcomed student to enemy of the state." The book retells Marzynski's own memoir, first ghostwritten by Daly's grandfather, Eliot H. Robinson Sr. Daly's first two books, both award winners, concern pioneering women in medicine.
