review 1: From the very first page, Wright had me in his skillful hands. This is a tale, well-paced and well-told, about the life of a woman in the Cromwellian era. Although a bastard, her mother passes along a great gift - she teaches her daughter how to read. The story is also about the many varieties of love that neither time nor technology has changed. Wright is a masterful storyteller and wields his craft in such a manner as to make you forget you are reading. I'll be looking for some more of his work soon.
review 2: What would happen if William Shakespeare had illegitimite child? What would it have been like in his time? The writing of Richard Wright is lovely and slowly tells of tales of Mam and Aerlene through a great story-telling presentation and how Willi... moream Shakespeare is involved (or not). I felt transported into time to England in the country, as well as, the bustling London and its different districts. Enjoyable. less
