PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY
The team of author David Hewson and narrator Richard Armitage return to the works of Shakespeare, with a reimagining of the world's most famous love story.
It is 1499, the eve of a new century full of threat and promise. In Renaissance Verona, Romeo and Juliet, offspring of the Capulets and the Montagues, two families at war, meet by chance and decide to marry secretly. But Juliet is about to be betrothed to a nobleman she doesn't know or want. And Romeo is part poet and part knight, too ready to reach for a sword in anger.
Hours after their secret wedding, their hidden romance turns to tragedy and bloodshed as Romeo is forced to flee the city and Juliet is ordered to marry the nobleman, Paris, or be ejected from her family. She conspires with priest Friar Laurence to escape by feigning death. In a breathless, shocking week, Juliet turns from a bored virginal teenager waiting on an unwanted fate into a fearful bride afraid to speak the truth to her uncomprehending parents, desperate to be reunited with her banished husband.
This all-new novel reworks both Shakespeare's classic play and his earlier sources to produce a romantic, historical tragedy told in modern English. More than a love story, Romeo and Juliet: A Novel is a tale of young versus old, hope against despair, and, for Juliet, the search for individual identity at a time when women were little more than chattel.
