Melina Green is an aspiring young playwright who has just finished writing a work based on her ancestor Emilia Bassano, an Italian Jew. Melina would love to have her play performed but knows it would be unlikely, until her best friend drunkenly submits it to a festival under a male pseudonym.
Picoult’s novel takes place in a duel timeline, taking the reader back in time to 1591 to Emilia’s time, and going back to Melina’s timeline in present day. Each were equally riveting and kept me engaged the whole way through.
Thanks to Netgalley for a review copy of this book.
