Summary“One of the queens of historical fiction”
offers a new take on the mesmerizing young woman and poetess
who inspired Shakespeare’s most famous female
character.
Before Juliet Capelletti lie two futures: a traditionally
loveless marriage to her father’s business partner, or
the fulfillment of her poetic dreams, inspired by the great
Dante. Unlike her beloved friend Lucrezia, who looks forward
to her arranged marriage, Juliet has a wild, romantic
imagination that knows not the bounds of her great
family’s stalwart keep.
The latter path is hers for the taking when Juliet meets
Romeo Monticecco, a soulful young man seeking peace between
their warring families. A dreamer himself, Romeo is
unstoppable, once he determines to capture the heart of the
remarkable woman foretold in his stars. The breathless
intrigue that ensues is the stuff of beloved legend. But
those familiar with Shakespeare’s muse know only half
the story...
