(4) YA When Victor is orphaned, he joins the underworld of 1830s London and becomes involved with "Resurrection Men" who sell corpses for research. Victor's own talents for medicine lead him to a respectable apprenticeship, but his old friends and enemies follow him. Despite some contrivances, Welsh's narrative is brutally, vividly honest about 1830s life, including child abuse and medical dissections.
