The Hyena's Daughter by Jupiter Jones

'The Hyena's Daughter' tells the far-too-untold story of a 19th century sisterhood, the daughters of Mary Wollstonecraft: Fanny Imlay and Mary Shelley, the famed writer of Frankenstein, plus their step-sister Claire Clairmont, lover of Lord Byron. Are they the three graces? The fates? They're women, as alive and breathing and rebellious and analytical as you and me, and well aware and critical of the hemmed-in nature they're expected to accept as women of their time - a time of 'a new way of thinking, a new-world independence, a revolutionary world.' It features their connection to Percy Bysshe Shelley - 'how could we not love him, with his lofty ethics and words that flew like birds?' - and many of the other contemporary poets and thinkers of the time.
