In my head this book was being acted out by a cast of late 80s and early 90s cinema luvvies. The Shakespeare helps produce this feeling but the fact that the author has only just finished studying The Bard in London no doubt plays a part. What did he do? What happened that year? Why did things turn out the way they did? We have to push our way through the undergrowth of flashbacks to find out.Īlthough set in America this book has a very British feel to it. We open as our protagonist is released from jail having served his time for a crime that he may or may not have committed. Murder most horrid amongst a group of 4th Year university students of Shakespeare. Highly enjoyable with characters who jump off the page. Summary: A very diverting, interesting and engaging debut novel that is confident and well written.
