		Claire's life seems defined by extended bouts between the sheets (and pretty much anywhere else) with hunky patent and trademark lawyer Dan, who is soon found standing over the corpse of Angie, a bitchy nail-buffer from Claire's salon.
		Claire comes from the 'swamp rat' side of town, her ex-husband and soon to be husband again, Dan Clairmont, comes from among the wealthy and powerful.
		Claire also has that annoying habit of not doing as she is told and deliberately hiding evidence from the police in order to pursue her own faulty investigation - which could put her in danger.

		It is possible that her stepsister Claire Clairmont was pregnant by Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Shelley's husband, and that the child was aborted or miscarried.
		Claire, who dragged the Shelley household halfway across Europe in her pursuit of Lord Byron, displayed a readiness to embrace the Shelleyan ideal of free love and nude bathing that was held as a perpetual rebuke to her half-sister's prudery.
		Shortly thereafter, Byron and Trelawny embarked for Greece, Mary Shelley's troubled and troubling step-sister Claire Clairmont departed to become a governess in Russia, and in 1823 Mary and her last surviving child returned to the England she had not seen since 1818.

		Miriam Cyr's Claire Clairmont is a trollop, her chief purpose being to provide a lewd contrast to Richardson's proper Mary.
		When Byron accuses Mary of loose morals, attempting to drag her down to his level of debauchery, Richardson justifies her "free love" with Shelley (who was then married to another) as done in the name of love and liberty, in contrast to Byron's wanton loveless orgies.

		The places, social issues and people with which he became involved are brilliantly brought to life, as are the moral questions raised by his beliefs and behaviour.
		The picture of Shelley's desperate efforts to mediate between Byron and Claire Clairmont over their unfortunate daughter Allegra, for example, is particularly haunting when considered alongside his own and Mary's heart-rending trail of dead babies.
		But it is as a portrait of the workings of a poet that this book must stand or fall - and it is perhaps the best biography of a poet ever written.
