Memoirs of Elizabeth Frankenstein
reviewed on + 335 more book reviews


Rescued from an impoverished existence among the Gipsies, raised by a remarkable noblewoman of Geneva, Elizabeth Lavenza was destined to be more than a foster sister to Victor Frankenstein. She became his soul mate and lover, the partner who led him on a quest into the shadowy realms of alchemical lore - commingling the scientific, the spiritual, and the sexual. But the shattering of their bond would send Victor on his unholy pursuit of the secret of life..an exploration that would unleash only death and destruction.
