This one took me a really long time to get through, but I'm glad I stuck with it. I've never been a fan of Shakespeare, but this book definitely gave me a new appreciation for his plays. I also really liked the descriptions of the time and place - they made the whole book feel very transportive. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction or Shakespeare.

Didn’t enjoy quite as much as The Marriage Portrait but good story and characters. I’m happy with her artistic licensing.

This felt like if “Non-Stop” “Quiet Uptown” and “That Would Be Enough” were made into a book
