Mary Modern
Camille DeAngelis
Read by Jenna Lamia with Mara Demay Lawler and Eric Conger
A modern, heartwarming twist on Mary Shelley's classic, this compelling debut novel
weaves an old-fashioned love story with modern
science—and leaves us wanting more.
Lucy Morrigan, a young genetic researcher, lives with
her boyfriend, Gray, in her crumbling family mansion.
Surrounded by four generations of clothes, photographs,
furniture, and other remnants of past lives, they
are strangely out of touch with the modern world—except in the basement, where Lucy works in the high-tech
lab she inherited from her father. Frustrated by her
unsuccessful attempts to win tenure and bear a child,
she takes drastic measures to achieve both: She uses a
bloodstained scrap of apron found in the attic to successfully
clone her grandmother.
Naturally, Lucy is hoping for a baby. Instead, she
brings to life 22-year-old Mary. Alive in a home that is
no longer her own, amid reminders of a life she has
lived but doesn’t remember, Mary is trapped in the
strangest sort of déjà vu, and Lucy must face the truth
about love, longing, and the ties that bind.
