Finished reading
Shakespeare's Will, by Meredith Whitford. Powerful and moving historical fiction, about his colourful life, marriage and infidelities, seen both through his eyes and those of his long-suffering loyal wife,
Anne Hathaway. Richly filled with descriptions of the political intrigues and hazards of living in Elizabethan England. Meredith's sophisticated use of language, appropriate to the period, is most impressive. I can't wait to read another of her first-rate books.
