WINNER OF FIVE BAFTAS, TWO GOLDEN GLOBES, and NOMINATED FOR ELEVEN
ACADEMY AWARDS. STARRING EMMA STONE, FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE
FAVOURITEWinner of the Whitbread Novel Award and the Guardian
Fiction PrizeA life without freedom to choose is not worth having.
Godwin Baxter's scientific ambition to create the perfect companion
is realised when he finds the drowned body of the beautiful Bella,
who he brings back to life in a Frankenstein-esque feat.But his
dream is thwarted by Dr. Archibald McCandless's jealous love for
his creation . .. But what does Bella think?This story of true love
and scientific daring whirls the reader from the private
operating-theatres of late-Victorian Glasgow through aristocratic
casinos, low-life Alexandria and a Parisian bordello, reaching an
interrupted climax in a Scottish church. ________________________'A
magnificently brisk, funny, dirty, brainy book' London Review of

delightfully written' New York Times'A brilliant marriage of
technique, intelligence, and art.' Kirkus Reviews'The greatest
Scottish novelist since Sir Walter Scott' Anthony Burgess'Those
who, like me, are unsure if they are Alasdair Gray fans or not,
ought to fall on Poor Things with delight, and not just because of
the almost excessive beauty of its appearance' Philip Hensher,
