My Review:-I'm not one for Shakespeare, but I do like reading G.D. Harper's books, so thought we not give it a go and I'm glad I did. I love how the story is told in two timeline. We begins with Alice Arden being burnt at the stake, then we start to learn more about Alice and how she ended up being burnt. Next we read about Shakespeare's story, 13 years after Alice's death. This is a  story that is filled with scandal, conspiracy, corruption, told by an great author G.D. Harper. Harper has brought historical documents and recently published academic research together and gave us the information that tells a different story of 'Arden.' This is a book that you need to read yourself to understand just how two people born so far apart, yet come together in one book.
