Description

Alasdair Gray's Poor Things is a mesmerizing tale of love, science and ambition set against the vibrant backdrop of late-Victorian Glasgow.

The story follows Godwin Baxter's extraordinary feat: bringing back to life Bella, a beautiful woman he finds drowned. But as his creation begins to think for herself, Baxter's dream is threatened by Dr. Archibald McCandless's jealousy. As the narrative unfolds, it whisks the reader on a journey through private operating-theatres, aristocratic casinos and Parisian bordellos.

This witty and engaging novel showcases Gray's unique blend of technique, intelligence and art, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in historical fiction and the human condition.
