Description
โNOW, DAUGHTER, IโM TO TELL YOU A STORY TO COAX YOU INTO THE WORLDโฆ’
London 1797. Mary Wollstonecraft awaits the arrival of the midwife who will help bring her child into the world, and support her through the testing eleven days that follow.
After the birth, both mother and daughter fight for survival. Even as Maryโs strength wanes, she urgently weaves the tale of her life to bind her frail Little Bird close.
Wollstonecraftโs journey to vindicate the rights of women spanned Europe and broke the conventions of the time. Amid the triumph and loss, she blazed a trail and passed that legacy on to her child, the future Mary Shelley.
Love and Fury reclaims the all too brief moment when the stories of mother and daughter overlapped. It is a lyrical and moving tribute to an influential thinker and a remarkable woman.
What The Critics Said
โA thought-provoking, beautifully written story of mothers and daughtersโ
'A luminous love-letterโAnnabel Abbs, author of Frieda
โIntensely moving โฆ Love and Fury is like watching newly colourised archive film burst into lifeโBee Rowlatt, author of In Search of Mary
