We all know many quotes from the vast works of William Shakespeare, famous expressions crafted such a long time ago. Despite my glowing admiration for his poetry and plays, I’d never thought to do much research on the man himself, nor had I ever thought to question the source of his deep well of words. Historical fiction is at its best when it makes you rethink and question what you thought you knew about a person or subject . . . to stir the blood, the intellect, and the imagination. This novel does exactly that. If you are a literary fan and open to an alternative theory on the life and times of this man revered for his profound talent with a quill, then I highly recommend that you add this book to your cart.
I’d like to thank NetGalley for an advanced copy of By Any Other Name for my unbiased evaluation. 5 stars
