Description

In the 1580s in England, during a plague epidemic, a young Latin teacher falls in love with an extraordinary eccentric girl… This is how Maggie O’Farrell’s new novel begins—one of the most anticipated releases of the year. It offers a fresh and unusual look at the life of William Shakespeare. Did the writer exist? What inspired him? “A beautifully written book. It will take you back to the past—right onto plague-ridden streets… but you’ll definitely enjoy being there.” — The Boston Globe “It’s the kind of work you want to return to again and again when it comes to Maggie O’Farrell.” — The Time “Delightful, an actual miracle.” — David Mitchell, author of the novel “Cloud Atlas” “An exceptional historical romance.” — The New Yorker “Filled with love and passion… A novel about transforming life into art.” — The New York Times Book Review
