Set in the late 18th century, Samantha Silva's Love and Fury centers on the dazzling life of Mary Wollstonecraft, one of the world's most influential thinkers and mother of the famous novelist Mary Shelley. Silva’s novel offers a fresh take on of the pioneers of feminism, a woman reclaiming her own narrative to pass on to her daughter, and all daughters, for generations to come.
