Review title: literate but boring
Product review: Historical novel about the many loves of Byron, Shelley, and Keats, though Byron's affairs are necessarily abridged (or it'd be a ten-volume novel). The Marys --Wollstonecraft and Shelley--come off as women who really don't give a fig about anything but their lovers. Their still-in-print, important books here get written and discarded in single paragraphs, while they fret and moan for pages about infidelities, despite being alleged proponents of free love. I don't know if this is who/how they were, but it's disappointing to read about and boring to me. Weak women mooning over men isn't a particularly interesting plot to me. Still, at moments, this novel did fascinate me. An uneven sort of experience, and I confess to flipping past pages quite a few times as it dragged.
