Love and Fury

“Love and Fury sparks with a thrilling jolt of electricity, reanimating the epic legacy of Mary Wollstonecraft. A spun-gold tale both sweeping and intimate, Love and Fury shines with essential truths about love, womanhood, and the timeless struggle to define one’s self.”—Afia Atakora, author of Conjure Women

 

“Astonishing and groundbreaking. Silva’s Wollstonecraft is one of the most complex and endearing characters in recent historical fiction, simultaneously strong and heartbreakingly vulnerable. Love and Fury chronicles not only a great historical figure but, just as movingly, a woman, wife, and mother who learns to find love and home within herself.”—Natalie Jenner, author of The Jane Austen Society

 

“Intensely moving. Silva's writing is as fearless as its subject. Love and Fury is like watching newly-colorized archive film burst into life—I knew the story, but I never knew the story like this.”—Bee Rowlatt, author of In Search of Mary

 

“Here is a novel set on the border between living and dying, with a heroine so powerful she conquers all territories—and she conquered me, too. Love and Fury thrums with beauty, pain, sorrow, wonder, tragedy, triumph, and life. What an extraordinary and transformative book this is.”—Clare Beams, author of The Illness Lesson

 

“Gorgeous. Silva has given homage and light to Mary Wollstonecraft, creating a complex and loving novel all her own. This illuminating story harnesses the power women have—even in the midst of loss—to change the world, one woman's story at a time. An urgent masterpiece.”—TaraShea Nesbit, author of Beheld
