In Elizabethan London, young Emilia Bassano is a ward of English aristocrats. Her education has endowed her with a sharp wit and a gift for storytelling, but still she is allowed no voice of her own.
Forced to become a mistress to the Lord Chamberlain, who oversees the theatre, Emilia discovers the power of stories to beguile audiences. Secretly, she forms a plan to bring a play of her own to the stage – by paying an actor named William Shakespeare to front her work.
In modern-day Manhattan, playwright Melina Green finds a woman’s voice is still worth less than a man’s. But, inspired by the life of her ancestor Emilia Bassano, Melina takes a lesson from history and submits a play under a male pseudonym…

I bought the audio after listening to an interview with Jodie Picoult on Penguin podcasts and i loved every minute of it. Brilliantly told in audio. inspiring, ‘truth telling’ and sense making. It brought to life the times, the theatre, the drama of living in Elizabethan times. And the epilogue at the end with Jodie detailing the research is fascinating. Will be listening to this again.
