‘It is hard to exaggerate how well Picoult writes.’
FINANCIAL TIMES
What if the greatest writer of all time isn't who we think he is?
In 1581, Emilia Bassano is allowed no voice of her own. But as the LordChamberlain's mistress she has access to the theatre and finds a way to bringher work to the stage secretly. But creating some of the world's greatestdramatic masterpieces comes at a cost: by paying a man for the use of his name,she will write her own out of history. His name? William Shakespeare.
In present day Manhattan, playwright Melina Green has written a new workinspired by the life of her Elizabethan ancestor Emilia Bassano. Although thechallenges are different four hundred years later, the playing field is stillnot level for women in theatre. Is Melina-like Emilia-willing to forfeit hercredit as author, to see her work performed?
No.1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult has written a sweepingtale of ambition, courage and desire that explores the ways in which two women,centuries apart, are both forced to hide behind another name to make theirvoices heard.
‘Jodi Picoult is that rare, one-in-a-million writer whose books bothsqueeze your heart and expand your mind.’
