Shakespeare's Hamlet, how it came to be as well as how Shakespeare became well, Shakespeare. In this excellent retelling, imaginative tale all is unveiled.

If you are looking for a happy little story, this is not one. If, however, you are looking for a story that is brilliantly written, with scenes vividly painted, with emotions so honest they are raw, characters brought to life, than you need look no further. I was brought into lives so artfully portrayed, that I felt with them, lived with them and wanted to change things so they could find happiness. The grief expressed upon the loss of a child was searing. The effects of the Plague, like our Covid, frightening.

I loved Agnes, her healing touch that could help so many, but not the one that mattered to her the most. Hard not to draw comparisons with our present day, and our many losses, confusion. This is an author whose books have never yet let me down. So many have risen to the top, and this one too deserves all the accolades it has received.
