Adam, Mine.

Both brutal and tender, this raw tale surges with palpable emotion. It’s a weighty, unflinching examination of personhood. — Publishers Weekly (starred review)Ripe with poetic metaphors and threaded through with sweetness; a bruising and beautiful reimagining. Hand this to fans of Jenny Lee’s Anna K or Marissa Meyer’s Gilded. — School Library Journal (starred review)The novel offers…a consistent focus on the two teens’ humanity in all its messiness, mistakes, beauty, and staggering fragility… Ancrum has struck a balance between an adaptation that is both respectfully faithful and entirely her own. — The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review)A deeply complex work that both shines on its own and offers a worthy, respectful bow to the storied classic. — Booklist (starred review)“Ancrum honors the Romantic movement to which Shelley belonged with prose that slices and soothes—but her greatest trick is the subtle sleight of hand that blurs the line between human and monster, demanding that readers reconsider which is which.” — Shelf Awareness (starred review)The combination of thrilling suspense, romantic tension, and fantasy/horror elements mark this as quintessential Ancrum…The short chapters, dual viewpoints, and nonlinear timeline propel readers through the story without shortchanging either the descriptive prose…or the thematic explorations of ethics and morality, transgression and redemption, queerness and masculinity. — The Horn Book Inc.
