Poor things is a postmodern gothic novel reimagining the Frankenstein story, following Bella Baxter, a woman "brought back to life" with her unborn child's brain in her adult body. Through its complex narrative structure and unique characters, the book delivers an incisive critique of Victorian society and conceptions of female identity.

Alasdair Gray's "Poor Things" is a compelling and unusual novel that combines science fiction, satire, and social commentary to create a distinctly Scottish tale. Set in late nineteenth-century Glasgow, the plot follows the eccentric physician Archibald McCandless as he conducts a series of odd experiments involving the reanimation of dead bodies.
Gray's work is rich and bright, laced with wit, humour, and a fine sense of detail. His depiction of Glasgow society, with its class divisions, political intrigues, and cultural quirks, lends depth and complexity to the narrative. Grey uses the figure of Bella to examine issues of power, control, and the essence of humanity, urging readers to consider the ethical consequences of technological development and the search for immortality.
