![]() Juliet Moreau is a poor maid at the medical college in 19th Century London, but she was not always living on the bottom of society. Also, a mad scientist, not a romance, was the driving force behind the narrative. Wells but from the Doctor's 16 year old daughter's perspective. First, I love Wells and second, it was a YA book that was not dystopian. ![]() Why was I intrigued? Because The Madman's Daughter is basically a retelling of The Island of Doctor Moreau by H.G. I was intrigued by The Madman's Daughter when I was reading reviews, and in fact, I placed a hold for myself at the same time I ordered it for the BPL Teen collection. But thankfully, it ended up being very enjoyable. It was the only "work" I did on vacation. Okay, so I am trying to get into the groove of this reading more YA lit thing, so over my recent vacation, I nixed the plan of reading The Twelve and instead brought along The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd (and a whole bunch of New Yorker back issues). ![]()
