The same goes for English Professors who like to experiment with multimedia in their Shakespeare class. As a former teacher, I embrace every opportunity to interact with students of all ages.
A high-flying debut…. Fortier navigates around false clues and twists, resulting in a… love story that reads like a Da Vinci Code for the smart modern woman.
Ingenious, intriguing, a thrilling story that keeps you turning the pages. This is a wonderfully textured novel of history and imagination that brings Italy, past and present, beautifully to life.
Juliet is one of those rare novels that has it all: lush prose, tightly intertwined parallel narratives, intrigue, and historical detail all set against a backdrop of looming danger. Anne Fortier casts a new light on one of history’s greatest stories of passion. I was swept away.
