Enter the Body by Joy McCullough

I really wish Lavinia had been given a way to tell her story. Of all the women Shakespeare has ever written, she has one of the most disgusting and traumatizing deaths, and it is really sad to me that she still didn’t get a voice in this book. I feel like she deserved to reclaim and rewrite her narrative more than anyone, so it was very sad to see her remain a spectator throughout. She was given community, and some words of comfort from Cordelia and the other girls, but she was mostly just a silent observer. Other than that, I really loved this book. It was phenomenal.
