Fair Rosaline by Natasha Solomons
The extraordinary feminist retelling of Romeo and Juliet from the point of view of Rosaline, the woman Romeo loved first.
A deliciously dark take on the iconic love story * Woman & Home *
This sweeping untelling of Shakespeare's most famous love story is subversive and a lot of fun * The I newspaper *
Immersive, original and thought-provoking, this is brilliantly done * Best Magazine *
A thought-provoking reimagining of the classic tragedy, Fair Rosaline is, at its heart, a love story that champions the most elusive and rare of all loves: self-acceptance and self-love. This is a rich and atmospheric work that, despite its historical setting, feels intensely relatable thanks to Solomons' resilient heroine. * Katherine J. Chen, author of Joan *
Natasha Solomons' masterfully weaves Shakespeare's classic play into a gripping story of female agency and strength. Rosaline is a compelling heroine and I was rooting for her from the first page, and as a Shakespeare-lover, I thoroughly enjoyed the new life Natasha breathes into Romeo and Juliet. * Isabelle Schuler, author of LADY MACBETHAD *
Dismantling the myths around Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Fair Rosaline is a revelatory feminist retelling. I got lost within its pages submerged within a Shakespearean sensory drama where the voices of young girls & their predicaments mirror real history with powerful resonance for our present. * Anya Bergman, international bestselling author of The Witches of Vardo *
A fabulous avenging heroine who inhabits a story that teems with vivid period detail and burns with feminist fury. You'll never look at Romeo the same way again. * The Bookseller - Editor's Pick *
I was gripped by Rosaline's story . . . You may think you know this story. Think again. * Laura Shepperson, author of THE HEROINES *
