from the back cover: "In this wonderfully inventive novel, Grace Tiffany weaves fact with fiction to bring Judith Shakespeare to vibrant life. Through Judith's eyes, we glimpse the world of her famous playwright father: his works, his family, his inspiration"

I really enjoyed this book. More than a few times, I went to google Shakespeare's family timeline, to find out names, dates, and events in order to try to uncover and separate the fact from the fiction. Rather than detract from the tale, for me, it added a layer or two of intrigue and fun! And I loved learning a few new words, as well. One of my favourites: pleached (pleach – verb (used with object)
1. to interweave (branches, vines, etc.), as for a hedge or arbor.
2. to make or renew (a hedge, arbor, etc.) by such interweaving.
3. to braid (hair).

I feel bad that I've had this book for so long. It's time to share with others.
