Female Jekyll/Hyde in today's London,
By "jekyll_noir" (Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Two Women of London: The Strange Case of MS Jekyll and Mrs Hyde (Paperback)
This is a weird story... A bit hard to get the hang of, but once you are there, you just keep on reading. This is, in fact, a modern reworking of the "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" story. It is set in the London of the 1980's. You can recognize most of the main characters from the original story, but all are women: doctors, artists and lawyers. Men generally play a very small part in this novel - which, for me, is refreshing. (Stevenson's original novel contains hardly any women, except for a fainting maid.) And all the things that happen in the original story does also happen in this book - but in other ways. An intelligent re-write!
