But this was parental grief.

This is someone who's like, I was born into sadness.

I didn't understand it.

Like, yeah, Frankenstein's monster says, like, I don't understand the sadness I've inherited.

And I was like, that sounds like a grieving child.

Yeah.

isn't it interesting because I think I'm a bit me it's like I really enjoyed the beginning actually and then I and then I got when the monster came live I was like sorry what it was like she's like he's he was there and I was like she skipped over that a bit yeah it wasn't like a sci-fi writer where someone wants you to know the logistics but I I think the thing that I loved about it was like it's so full of ideas yeah

It's so, it's like, it's living, breathing, especially for 19th century texts, which often not only are boring, are dry.

And you have to really be like, well, I suppose I could say it's about capitalism, but you're searching.

Whereas this is like, it's leaping off the page how much she's trying to get something to you.

But I don't mind her telling that, considering where she was living.

She's basically on holiday at this point with Byron, Shelley, and she says as well that she just sat there silently listening to them.

I found that bit really sad.

They're a big family, aren't they?

But I felt like that.

I know what you mean, Sarah, because I was a bit like, oh, hang on, that's...

What?

It's a different country.

I was like, you can't crime-write a brain what she's doing.

She's not doing that.
