Ophelia by Lisa M. Klein
5.0
I call this a book candy.
I have always admired Ophelia, long before I actually read Hamlet. Then I was confused as why she is so stupid like all the other female Shakesperean characters... So for me this book brought joy. Am I aware of the critiques? Yes. Do I care? No.
This book has ticked all the boxes for me.
- Did I enjoy it? Yes.
- Did I like the characters? Yes.
- Did it make me think? Yes.
- Am I a feminist? Well, who isn’t?
- Do I think Claire Randall Fraser from Outlander and Ophelia would be great friends? Hell, yes!
