Reviews

[Nicole · Rating 4 out of 5]

This short story is written from the perspective of Lady Katherine, as she reflects on her love for William Shakespeare. In an almost journal entry style, she recalls how life was a challenge for both William and herself. She also demonstrates how her love, will continue, long after William’s passing.

Little is known about William Shakespeare’s personal life. Fans of his work, will appreciate this fictionalized insight into his inner world. This book makes for a great lunch time read, as it is only twenty-seven pages long.
