By Jodi Picoult
What if Shakespeare was a woman?
1581 Emilia Bassano is allowed no voice of her own, but finds a way to bring her work to the stage secretly. Yet by paying a man for the use of his name, she will write her own out of history.
His name?
William Shakespeare. Now, playwright Melina Green is determined to see one of her shows make the stage, but it appears a woman’s voice is still worth less than a man’s. Women have long been written out of history, but what if they held the pen all along?
The literary powerhouse and repeat no. 1 bestseller takes on her most heartrending and headline grabbing story yet.
You’ll fall in love with Emilia Bassano, the unforgettable heroine based on a real woman that Picoult brings vividly to life in her brilliantly researched new novel.
– Kristin Hannah, author of The Women
