The Forger's Ink

Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description

Fanny Imlay, Mary Shelley's half-sister, lies dead in distant Swansea. But did she really die? A cache of letters from 1816 suggest that like Shelley's Frankenstein, Imlay had a second life, similarly misunderstood, used and rejected. Who is the mysterious owner of the letters and can they be believed? Jo Mazelis' new novel is a Gothic tour-de-force.
