Poor Things

Poor Things is a wild, brilliant, and utterly unpredictable journey into the world of the ingenious — and slightly mad — doctor Godwin Baxter. His greatest creation is Bella Baxter, a woman with the body of an adult but the mind of an infant, who masters the world around her with astonishing speed and an immense appetite for life. The author skillfully plays with facts, diaries, and letters. Who is Bella, really — the victim of an experiment, or a strong woman shaping her own destiny? This is a story about those whom society sees as “poor things,” yet who prove to be freer than anyone else.
