09.23: Lois Leveen

2014-08-18 22:38:51| Powells Books Events Calendar

In Verona, a city ravaged by plague and political rivalries, a mother mourning the death of her day-old infant enters the household of the powerful Cappelletti family to become the wet-nurse to their newborn baby. As she serves her beloved Juliet over the next 14 years, the nurse learns the Cappellettis' darkest secrets. Those secrets — and the nurse's deep personal grief — erupt across five momentous days of love and loss that destroy a daughter and a family. By turns sensual, tragic, and comic, Lois Leveen's Juliet's Nurse (Atria) gives voice to one of literature's most memorable and distinctive characters. Exploring the romance and intrigue of interwoven loyalties, rivalries, jealousies, and losses only hinted at in Shakespeare's play, this is a never-before-heard tale of the deepest love in Verona — the love between a grieving woman and the precious child of her heart.
