The Determined Heart reveals the life of Mary Shelley in a story of love and obsession, betrayal and redemption.
The daughter of political philosopher William Godwin and feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Shelley had an unconventional childhood populated with the most talented and eccentric personalities of the time. After losing her mother at an early age, she finds herself in constant conflict with a resentful stepmother and a jealous stepsister. When she meets the Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, she falls deeply in love, and they elope with disastrous consequences. Soon she finds herself destitute and embroiled in a torturous love triangle as Percy takes Mary's stepsister as a lover. Over the next several years, Mary struggles to write while she and Percy face ostracism, constant debt, and the heartbreaking deaths of three children. Ultimately, she achieves great acclaim for Frankenstein, but at what cost?

In this astonishing novel, a brilliant mélange of fact and fiction, Juliet Gael skillfully and stylishly captures the passions, hopes, dreams, and sorrows of literature’s most famous sisters - and imagines how love dramatically and most unexpectedly found Charlotte Brontë. During the two years that she studied in Brussels, Charlotte had a taste of life’s splendors - travel, literature, and art. Now, back home in the Yorkshire moors, duty-bound to a blind father and an alcoholic brother, an ambitious Charlotte refuses to sink into hopelessness.

Swept up in this beautiful story.
This was so well written. The story was was moving and I felt like I was swept away every time I picked it up. The love scenes were very sexy but not uncomfortable. Well done! The only comment that is not totally positive is that the narrator had a "sing-song" quality to her cadence at the end of a phrase. I didn't notice until the last quarter of the book and I did listen twice so overall not a big deal. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a great story of love and loss, ambition with great perseverance!

Intriguing Look at an Author's Motivation
Interesting look into the human spirit. Amazing to contemplate how centuries ago men and women faced the same questions we struggle with to day. The narrator is somewhat distracting with the lilt at the end of each sentence.

Do not waste your time
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Poorly written this book appears to be more fantasy rather then well researched fact. It was horrible.
Has The Determined Heart turned you off from other books in this genre?
I love books of historical charters but this just missed the mark.
What didn’t you like about Susan Duerden’s performance?
Not much, it was puffy and pampas. I have heard this reader before and she was much better.
