J’ai l’impression que mes mots ne suffiraient pas à rendre la beauté de cette histoire, de cette plume. Shakespeare étant mon maître suprême, je me suis ruée sur cette fiction qui met en scène sa famille, sa rencontre avec sa femme, Agnès, ses débuts dans l’écriture qui lui permet une émancipation libératoire…
Ce livre aborde plus particulièrement le thème du deuil d’un être cher, comment chacun le surmonte, ou en tout cas essaye de vivre avec.
La fin est juste magnifique, hâte de voir le film qui m’a l’air ma fois goatesque
