“Beautifully human. Even readers typically uninterested in this time period will find themselves sucked into Silva’s lyrical prose. Highly recommended.”

—Historical Novels Review

“Gripping … Silva’s heartbreaking but inspiring work captures the despair and joy, convictions, and contradictions of an extraordinary woman.”

—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Related with superb detail … Silva’s portrait of the revolutionary Wollstonecraft generates an absorbing tale of courage, sorrow, and the dance between independence and intimacy that delivers a sense of triumphant catharsis.”

—Booklist

“Love and Fury sparks with a thrilling jolt of electricity.… A spun-gold tale both sweeping and intimate. Through this prism of history, Love and Fury shines with essential truths about love, womanhood, and the timeless struggle to define one’s self.”

—Afia Atakora, author of Conjure Women

“Silva’s Wollstonecraft is one of the most complex, kind, and endearing characters in recent historical fiction, simultaneously strong and heartbreakingly vulnerable. A provocative, inspiring, and timely novel.”

—Natalie Jenner, author of The Jane Austen Society

“A beautifully imagined novel … In Silva’s hands, we get to meet the true Wollstonecraft in all of her splendor. A tour de force.”

—Charlotte Gordon, author of Romantic Outlaws

“Silva’s writing is as fearless as its subject. Love and Fury is like watching newly colorized archive film burst into life—I knew the story, but I never knew the story like this.”

—Bee Rowlatt, author of In Search of Mary

“Love and Fury thrums with beauty, pain, sorrow, wonder, tragedy, triumph, and life. What an extraordinary and transformative book.”

—Clare Beams, author of The Illness Lesson

“Gorgeous … This illuminating story harnesses the power women have—even in the midst of loss—to change the world, one woman’s story at a time. An urgent masterpiece.”

—TaraShea Nesbit, author of Beheld
