When a young woman inherits the key to a safety deposit box in Siena, she is told it will lead to an old family treasure. This mysterious legacy leads her on a dangerous journey into the past - and to the story of her ancestor, Giulietta, whose love for a young man named Romeo turned medieval Siena upside down.
In Siena, the past and present collide as she crosses paths with the descendants of the families involved in the blood feud that inspired Shakespeare's famous tragedy. It soon becomes clear that the notorious curse "A plague on both your houses" is still at work - and she is the next target. Only someone like Romeo, it seems, could save her from a dreaded fate, but his story ended long ago. Or did it?
An inspired reimagining of the story of literature's greatest star-crossed lovers weaves the fates of two fascinating women living centuries apart into one unforgettable tale.
I love this book so much. Even though it's cliche and sometimes eye rolling, there is just something about the story that brings me back to it again and again. I mean, this is the tenth, if not more, times I read Juliet. I love the romance, going back and forth between time periods, and everything about my favourite play; Romeo and Juliet. Juliet by Anne Fortier is like a warm blanket you can trust to make you feel happy and know it will be perfect in the end. Just to think, I bought this book so long ago just because I loved the cover.  |
