The Strange Case Of The Alchemist's Daughter

"The premise Theodora Goss lays out in her novel The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter is simple, elegant and rich with promise: The daughters of some of 19th-century literature’s greatest literary villains (and, in some cases, antiheroes) come together in a grand mystery. Strange Case is a lively Victorian adventure that celebrates, overhauls, and pokes gentle fun at the era’s weird-fiction tradition. But it’s also a sparkling conversation with the canon from which it sprang."
