Henry Henry by Allen Bratton
5.0

Henry Henry is a gripping story set in the posh circles of London. Allen Bratton's reimagination of Shakespeare's Henriad introduces us to Hal Lancaster, a charismatic yet deeply troubled protagonist navigating his aristocratic upbringing, Catholic guilt, and struggles with self-worth. Bratton skillfully portrays Hal's descent into debauchery with raw authenticity, capturing the essence of shame and impulse.

“Henry Henry" sucks you into a world where personal battles clash with what society expects. It's a seriously good read that sticks with you even after you close the book.

I didn’t really know what to expect going into this book but I’m so glad I read it!
