As beautifuly written as it was, I thought the plot and ending were very predictable from the very start.
That being said, I loved to see Agnes' POV of the story and her evolution during the novel. It was an interesting choice to imagine her life and the one of her family this way.

Not the most revolutional view on Shakespeare's life but still quiet interesting!
