500    Includes a book club reading guide (pages 325-326). 
520    "London, 1814: Mary Godwin and her stepsister Jane 
       Clairmont, both sixteen, possess quick minds bolstered by 
       an unconventional upbringing, and have little regard for 
       the rules that other young ladies follow. Mary, whose 
       mother famously advocated for women's rights, rejects the 
       two paths that seem open to her-that of an assistant in 
       her father's bookshop, or an ordinary wife. Though quieter
       and more reserved than the boisterous Jane, Mary's 
       imagination is keen, and she longs for real-world 
       adventures. One evening, an opportunity arrives in the 
       form of a dinner guest, Percy Bysshe Shelley. At twenty-
       one, Shelley is already a renowned poet and radical. Mary 
       finds their visitor handsome and compelling, but it is 
       later that evening, after the party has broken up, that 
       events take a truly intriguing turn. When Mary comes 
       downstairs in search of a book, she finds instead a man 
       face down on the floor-with a knife in his back. The dead 
       man, it seems, was a former classmate of Shelley's, and 
       had lately become a personal and professional rival. What 
       was he doing in the Godwins' home? Mary, Jane, and Shelley
       are all drawn to learn the truth behind the tragedy, 
       especially as each discovery seems to hint at a tangled 
       web that includes many in Shelley's closest circle. But as
       the attraction between Mary and the married poet 
       intensifies, it sparks a rivalry between the sisters, even
       as it kindles the creative fire within . . ."--|cProvided
