Omschrijving

On a stormy night in 1816, lightning cracked over Lake Geneva as a young woman listened to poets and dreamers challenge one another to write ghost stories. Out of that daring moment came one of the most haunting creations in history—a tale of ambition, loss, and the boundaries of life itself. But before she gave the world her legendary monster, she lived a story just as extraordinary.

This book follows the life of a woman born into revolution—raised by thinkers who defied society, driven by grief, and fueled by an imagination unlike any other. From her rebellious elopement with the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley to the heartbreaks that shaped her, she forged her voice in a world that doubted her at every turn. Through genius and sorrow, she transformed pain into power, crafting a story that would outlive empires and redefine literature forever.

Told in a vivid, accessible style for teen readers, this is the story of how one writer dared to question creation itself—and how her words continue to echo through science, art, and culture today. It's about courage, creativity, and what it means to face the monsters we make—and the ones that live within us.
