Alasdair Grays wildly inventive reimagining of Frankenstein, set in Victorian Scotland. Blending dark humor, political satire and surreal storytelling, this modern classic is both a biting social commentary and a deeply human story of reinvention.

The novel centers on Bella Baxter, a woman brought back to life by the brilliant and controversial Dr. Godwin Baxter. Given a second chance at life, Bella rejects the restrictive morals of her time and sets off on a journey of self-discovery, sensuality and independence. As her story unfolds it becomes a daring exploration of gender, class, memory and the nature of truth.

Praised for its wit, originality, and layered narrative, Poor Things is an unforgettable literary experience. It challenges conventions and celebrates the freedom to shape ones own storya must-read for fans of speculative fiction, historical satire, and bold literary experimentation.

A major film.
