What if I told you that William Shakespeare didn’t write all of those plays? That a ghost writer named Emilia Bassano did instead? Intrigued?! Maybe I’m late to these rumors, but this story, told in duel timelines fascinated me. Yes this book is long (and maybe needed a little more editing) but the narrators were incredible and told this story well to keep me wanting to learn more page after page. I cried. I screamed. There were parts I wish I had the physical book to throw at times. But I will tell you, I will be thinking about this book long after I put it down.
