Irresistible. An excellent spin on a timeless classic. * Jennifer Saint, Sunday Times bestselling author of Ariadne * I have not been able to stop thinking about this book . . . Fair Rosaline is a gripping, spellbinding and wonderfully immersive book - and one that truly makes you think. I would be very surprised if everyone is not talking about it this summer. * Elodie Harper, bestselling author of The Wolf Den * A brilliant and beguiling re-imagining of the Romeo and Juliet story. A terrific novel - very clever and alluring. * William Boyd * A thought-provoking reimagining of the classic tragedy, Fair Rosaline is, at its heart, a love story that champions the most elusive and rare of all loves: self-acceptance and self-love. This is a rich and atmospheric work that, despite its historical setting, feels intensely relatable thanks to Solomons' resilient heroine. * Katherine J. Chen, author of Joan * Intelligent, imaginative, irreverent. Solomons has created a gripping Romeo and Juliet for the 21st century. * Annabel Abbs * A brilliant, feminist re-imagining of Romeo and Juliet, Fair Rosaline is a gorgeously written version of Verona from Juliet's cousin, Rosaline's, point of view. What does Romeo truly look like through the eyes of a woman on the periphery of the original story? Natasha Solomons skillfully shows us another version of the star-crossed lovers - and the Romeo --we all think we know. I absolutely devoured this thought-provoking, female-centric take on Shakespeare. * Jillian Cantor, USA Today bestselling author of Beautiful Little Fools * Exquisitely written, wonderfully lyrical and richly immersive - this a story we all know made fresh and chillingly relevant, refracted through a feminist lens. * Ellery Lloyd, author of PEOPLE LIKE HER *
