Enter the Body by Joy McCullough
3.0

From the perspectives of three young women of Shakespeare comes Enter the Body, in which Ophelia, Juliet, and Cordelia are given voices and agency. This inventive novel includes elements of verse and script, including some prose in the form of stage directions. McCullough's bold undertaking to ­reimagine ­Shakespeare’s version of the female point of view requires some deep thinking. I think you really have to know your Shakespeare to fully appreciate this book.
