review 1: Light, fun and relevant read as I was just going to the Utah Shakespeare Festival to see "The Tempest". Just another look at how truly little we know of Shakespeare. Clever weaving of Shakespeare's other plays and in addition, I found the recipes to be fun and inventive. I would score this a 3.5. Nothing amazing, yet causes me to ponder...just where was Shakespeare and what was he doing doing all of those "absent" years in his life?
review 2: Elizabeth Persons is a serving girl during the year 1609. She and the strict women she is in service to, travel to Jamestown aboard a ship known as the Sea Venture . During the journey a hurricane nearly destroys the ship, and just as all hope is lost land is spotted. Instead of being Jamestown, the 150 passengers aboa... morerd the vessel find themselves stranded on the Bermudas.........In the months that follow Elizabeth witnesses and experiences hardships, danger, adventure, mutiny, and even love. Besides this, Elizabeth develops a friendship with the "historian" Will Strachey but he is known by a different name in London- William Shakespeare. This book was a well written and interesting read. Some parts were a bit dry, but overall I would recommend this book to someone who likes historical fiction. less
