Beautifully crafted story that is a kind of sequel to Frankenstein, set in the mid-Victorian period featuring an angry woman scientist stifled by her husband and patriarchal notions about women's intelligence. Wonderful characters (including a villain very worthy of your hate!) as well as queer representation, which I wish was a little more explicit at the end. There is also content about grief here that was superbly done. (CW infant death)
