My pick this week:
The Fool's Girl
By Celia Rees
Publication date: April 2010 (UK), August 2010 (US)
Description from author's website:
"Violetta and Feste are in London, the year is 1601 and William Shakespeare is enjoying success at the Globe Theatre. But Violetta is not there to admire his plays; she is in England to retrieve her country's greatest treasure, stolen by the evil Malvolio, and she needs help. In an adventure that stretches from the shores of Illyria to the Forest of Arden, romance and danger go hand in hand. In a quest that could mean life or death, can Violetta manage to recover the precious relic and save her country and herself?"
I have read two novels by Celia Rees, Pirates! and Sovay and I loved both of them. I am looking forward to reading this book because of the connection with Shakespeare. Celia Rees came up with the idea for this book while watching the Shakespeare play, Twelfth Night. I can't wait to see what she does with this story that is based on Twelfth Night.
What are you waiting on this week?
I am definitely waiting for this book as well! It looks very good!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting! I enjoy reading books that have been inspired in some way by Shakespeare, so it will be fun to see how elements from Twelfth Night are used in the story. I will be looking for this one in August.
