reviewed on + 471 more book reviews


A gem of a novel-wise and funny, romantic and heartbreaking...a vivid, human, intimate portrait of Shakespeare-husband, father, consumate man of the theatre-as seen throught the eyes of a bold, spirited daughter who grasps the magic and mystery of her father's craft, the contradictoriness of his complex psyche, and the terrible pain of his troubled soul.-Herman Gollob, author of Me and Shakespeare: Adventures with the Bard. A wonderful book from a smoke-free home.
