A content warning about the Pandemic. This is the crux of the novel, so it’s inescapable and all encompassing. The current pandemic can feel the same, so I would exercise caution as to not traumatise yourself because the past two years have already traumatised you enough.jenbosen's review against another edition

I raced through the beginning of this book. I loved the sections about Arthur and Miranda’s relationship. Miranda, an introverted artist who just wants to create. She doesn’t care if her work is seen it sold by anyone but herself. Arthur is your typical “successful actor”, several relationships with multiple wives, lots of money, lavish lifestyle. The parts I liked the most of this book were the parts before the pandemic.
The book also focuses on a travelling Shakespearean theatre group, navigating their new world and bringing plays and music they love to audiences all over Canada and America. I think these sections of the book could’ve been a lot more compelling. It felt like nothing was happening then something happened and it was wrapped up too quickly.
This book was hugely out of my comfort zone, so maybe it just wasn’t for me.
