Read if you like:
• Elizabethan era historical fiction
• Stories about strong, resilient women
• Learning more about the history of Shakespeare’s plays
• Dual timelines/POVs
• Thiccc books
I really enjoyed all of the historical references and learning about the life and story of Emilia Bassano. I liked the Elizabethan timeline, but I found myself gravitating more toward the modern timeline and the story within the story that developed with the other MC, Melina. I don’t want to give anything away, but as someone who knew very little about Shakespeare’s plays and how/who they came from, I learned a TON from this story.
