Katherine deals with the grief over her father's murder by plotting revenge. Along the way we get all these interesting details about Elizabethan England and a fictional Shakespeare and the way this novel plays on the "Twelfth Night" play by said author. Ms. Boecker keeps the reader guessing about who is behind the plot as well as tossing in a bit of romance. ( ) 3.5 I definitely liked the book. I don’t think it’s a particularly novel take on Shakespeare since we have tons of media that does the same, taking a play and mimicking it with new characters. There were a few times that I was drawn out of the story because of the goofiness of some of the characters. But overall, an enjoyable read. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML:Shakespeare in Love meets Mr. and Mrs. Smith in this witty and thrilling story of star-crossed assassins in Elizabeth England, perfect for fans of My Lady Jane and TheGentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue! When Lady Katherine's father is killed for being an illegally practicing Catholic, she discovers treason wasn't the only secret he's been hiding: he was also involved in a murder plot against the reigning Queen Elizabeth I. With nothing left to lose, Katherine disguises herself as a boy and travels to London to fulfill her father's mission, and to take it one step further â?? kill the queen herself. Katherine's opportunity comes in the form of William Shakespeare's newest play, which is to be performed in front of Her Majesty. But what she doesn't know is that the play is not just a play. It's a plot to root out insurrectionists and destroy the rebellion once and for all. The mastermind behind this ruse is Toby Ellis, a young spy for the queen with secrets of his own. When Toby and Katherine are cast opposite each other as the play's leads, they find themselves inexplicably drawn to one another. But the closer they grow, the more precarious their positions become. And soon they learn that star-crossed love, mistaken identity, and betrayal are far more dangerous off the stage than Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
