I loved this book. It’s a historical fiction told with dual timelines, by a woman playwright in 2024, and her ancestor writer in Elizabethan times.
Ever heard the rumor that Shakespeare didn’t actually write his iconic work? This book examines that, from the perspective of a woman thought to have contributed to his great success.
I think this was a little too long - it started to drag maybe the last 100 pages. Super interesting though and makes me want to research this more!
