The Book of Will
The Book of Will | Lauren Gunderson
1 post | 1 read
Without William Shakespeare, we wouldnt have literary masterpieces like Romeo and Juliet. But without Henry Condell and John Heminges, we would have lost half of Shakespeares plays forever! After the death of their friend and mentor, the two actors are determined to compile the First Folio and preserve the words that shaped their lives. Theyll just have to borrow, beg, and band together to get it done. Amidst the noise and color of Elizabethan London, THE BOOK OF WILL finds an unforgettable true story of love, loss, and laughter, and sheds new light on a man you may think you know.

Shakespeare‘s friends decide to publish his complete works after he dies. Gunderson captures moments of grief and humor in such a beautiful way. She‘s quickly become one of my favorite playwrights. Her characters spoke of plays and Shakespeare‘s work with the same reverence and awe that I feel when seeing a powerful production.

“Laughter must be death‘s greatest defiance I think.”

“Every day is someone‘s worst. At least ours we had together.”
