Description
In a fresh, modern retelling of Shakespeare’s classic, a sharp-witted young woman—known for her stubborn independence—finds herself pulled into the routines and expectations of family life, where every small errand can feel like a test of identity. When her father’s forgetfulness sends her out into the world, she begins to question the roles she’s been assigned and the stories others tell about who she should become. As relationships shift and misunderstandings mount, the novel explores power, pride, and the quiet negotiations that shape love and selfhood. With Anne Tyler’s signature warmth and wry observational style, this is a character-driven comedy of manners that turns a familiar tale into something intimate, surprising, and deeply human.
