Sinopsis

I stopped beingáa woman aálong time ago...ItâÇÖs 1610 and Jacobean London is full of dangers, from the plague to plots and revolutions.In ShakespeareâÇÖs Ghost, Mary Hoffman provides an imaginative answer to one of the great questions about ShakespeareâÇÖs work: why, from A Midsummer NightâÇÖs Dream onwards, are his plays increasingly peopled by fairies, witches, ghosts and apparitions?For William Shakespeare, life has taken an unexpected turn: one that will transform his writing. Haunted by a familiar spirit, he is urged to include more and more paranormal events and characters in his work.Meanwhile, Ned Lambert, a young player in ShakespeareâÇÖs company, The KingâÇÖs Men, is having inexplicable experiences of his own, with a beautiful and elusive woman in green who is not of this world. Now a man on and off the stage, Ned is caught between fears and temptations. The poet is his friend, as is the popular young Prince of Wales, but is the mysterious woman he sees friend or foe?âÇÖOne of the liveliest and most captivating historical fantasies about ShakespeareâÇÖs imagination since Susan CooperâÇÖs King of Shadows.âÇÖ -Amanda Craigá
