What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers are deeply moved by this novel, which vividly explores themes of love, grief, and family through the lens of historical fiction. The book's beautiful prose and unique narrative style, where Shakespeare is never named, focusing instead on the family's matriarch, Agnes, stand out as particular strengths. Agnes, depicted with a mix of realism and mythical qualities, resonates profoundly with readers as an emotionally compelling character. Although some found the story somber and occasionally slow-paced, the captivating portrayal of a family's life and loss makes this a highly recommended read. The inclusion of magical realism and nonlinear storytelling adds layers of depth, making it a novel that demands to be experienced fully.
