Henry Henry by Allen Bratton

This was an entertaining read that kept me engaged with its witty and darkly humorous take on modern aristocratic life. The story of Hal Lancaster navigating his family's oppressive legacy and his own personal dilemmas was well-crafted and often amusing. However, I didn't find it resonating with me as deeply as I had hoped. Perhaps my lack of familiarity with the Shakespearean plays it draws inspiration from made it harder for me to fully appreciate the narrative's nuances. Nonetheless, it's a solid read with sharp prose and vivid characters that I'm sure many will enjoy.
