Mathilda
It tells the story of a young woman whose mother died in her childbirthjust as Shellys own mother died after hersand whose relationship with her bereaved father becomes sexually charged as he conflates her with his lost wife, while she becomes involved with a handsome poet. Yet despite characters clearly based on herself, her father, and her husband, the narrators emotional and relentlessly self-examining voice lifts the story beyond autobiographical resonance into something more transcendent: a driven tale of a brave womans search for love, atonement, and redemption.
