The Mad Courtesan
The Mad Courtesan | Edward Marston
4 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
Butchery outside a London brothel leaves Westfields Men in disarray While England is brought low by rumours of Queen Elizabeth's declining health, celebrated theatre company Lord Westfield's Men suffer their own bitter blows. A vicious feud between players causes chaos; a rival company launches a new production; a mysterious beauty reduces their leading actor to a lovelorn wreck; and a brutal murder leaves the group of actors reeling. With matters so fraught, even a performing horse becomes a threat. Stage manager Nicholas Bracewell, accustomed to damage control, is the only man with the wit to keep the company afloat. As the Queen sinks towards death, Nicholas begins to discern the connections between the company's misfortunes and the larger shadow falling over England . . .

@DoctorMirabilis1267 wanted to check out the big #HalfPriceBooks clearance sale today. $2/book or less. Who am I to deny him his Sunday wish? 😇

Have you read any of these? Recommendations, anyone?

britt_brooke Nice haul! 6y
dgingo @britt_brooke Thank you! 🤓☺️ 6y
StellarDoc Jhumpa Lahiri is wonderful, but I haven't read that one. 6y
dgingo @StellarDoc I haven‘t read anything by her yet, but I‘ve heard all good things about her. And, I figured that it couldn‘t hurt for 2 bucks. 6y
StellarDoc @dgingo I went to her Arts and Letters Live talk back in January. She taught herself Italian and now writes mainly in Italian. 6y

Unfortunately, we don't have a Half Priced Books store in El Paso so I decided to treat myself while in the Dallas area. Henry VIII and his six disappearing wives mug! 😂😂

LeahBergen I love it! 😍 7y
Reggie @LeahsBookNest go to Las Cruces and look for a place called Coas bookstore. The main one in the old downtown mall. You will be in heaven. Take some books to turn in for credit if u want. But even without turning in books you'll be amazed. 7y
LeahsBookNest @Reggie Las Cruces is only 40 mins away so I'll have to visit Coas!! Thanks so much! 👍🏾 7y
