About this Event


Join us for books, bubbles & sweet treats!

From the bestselling author of The Lioness of Boston comes Love & Other Monsters, a brand new book club historical fiction.


Hamnet meets Pride & Prejudice in this intense and propulsive story of love, lust,art and betrayal, based on the important—and forgotten—real life of eighteen-year-old Claire Clairmont, Mary Shelley's forgotten stepsister. With searing relevance to our here and now—of celebrity worship, climate disaster, of complicated femininity, Love & Other Monsters is the untold origin story of Frankenstein, a feminist reckoning of sisters, survival, and the creation of monsters—both those on the page and those who walk among us.

Each ticket comes with a signed hardcover copy of Love & Other Monsters*, Candy Bar Sweet Treats, Drink Ticket and Book Swag.

$5.00 from each ticket will be donated to welcomehomemass.org

*Sold by Newtonville Books
