Pages : 466
Book Description
A sweeping novel of intrigue and identity, of love and legacy, as a young woman discovers that her own fate is irrevocably tied—for better or worse—to literature’s greatest star-crossed lovers. Twenty-five-year-old Julie Jacobs is heartbroken over the death of her beloved aunt Rose. But the shock goes even deeper when she learns that the woman who has been like a mother to her has left her entire estate to Julie’s twin sister. The only thing Julie receives is a key—one carried by her mother on the day she herself died—to a safety-deposit box in Siena, Italy. This key sends Julie on a journey that will change her life forever—a journey into the troubled past of her ancestor Giulietta Tolomei. In 1340, still reeling from the slaughter of her parents, Giulietta was smuggled into Siena, where she met a young man named Romeo. Their ill-fated love turned medieval Siena upside-down and went on to inspire generations of poets and artists, the story reaching its pinnacle in Shakespeare’s famous tragedy. But six centuries have a way of catching up to the present, and Julie gradually begins to discover that here, in this ancient city, the past and present are hard to tell apart. The deeper she delves into the history of Romeo and Giulietta, and the closer she gets to the treasure they allegedly left behind, the greater the danger surrounding her—superstitions, ancient hostilities, and personal vendettas. As Julie crosses paths with the descendants of the families involved in the unforgettable blood feud, she begins to fear that the notorious curse—“A plague on both your houses!”—is still at work, and that she is destined to be its next target. Only someone like Romeo, it seems, could save her from this dreaded fate, but his story ended long ago. Or did it? Praise for Juliet “One of those rare novels that have it all . . . I was swept away”—Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants “Juliet leads us on a thrilling treasure hunt through present-day Italy that makes the classic tragedy itself spellbinding all over again.”—Elle “Boldly imagined, brilliantly plotted, beautifully described, Juliet will carry you spellbound until the gripping end.”—Susan Vreeland, author of Clara and Mr. Tiffany “The Shakespearean scholarship on display is both impressive and well-handled.”—The Washington Post

Book Description
The enduring cultural legacy of Shakespeare’s Juliet Capulet — a history "as vital and provocative as the character herself" (Literary Review). Romeo and Juliet may be the greatest love story ever told, but who is Juliet? Demure ingénue? Or dangerous Mediterranean madwoman? From tearstained copies of the First Folio to Civil War-era fanfiction, Shakespeare’s star-crossed heroine has long captured our collective imagination. Juliet is her story, traced across continents through four centuries of history, theatre, and film. As Oxford Shakespeare scholar Sophie Duncan reveals, Juliet’s legacy stretches beyond her literary lifespan into a cultural afterlife ranging from enslaved African girls in the British Caribbean to the real-life Juliets of sectarian violence in Bosnia and Belfast. She argues that our dangerous obsession with the beautiful dead teenager and Juliet’s meteoric rise as a defiant sexual icon have come to define the Western ideal of romance. Wry and inventive, Juliet is a tribute to fiction’s most famous teenage girl who died young, but who lives forever.

Who needs a man, when you have cats? An enemies-to-lovers sweet romance featuring a bundle of kittens and one grumpy cat! Juliet Connelly, manager at Furs Hill Animal Rescue, left the man she'd planned to spend her life with three years ago. He betrayed her, took her money, and lied to her, smashing her heart. She’s not willing to risk it again. Love is not on the table. Carlisle Danvers has spent the last six months hiding. His time as a successful actor made him wealthy, but at a price. His heart was shattered. He turned away from the acting world and sought solace in Saffron Springs with his beloved cats, away from fame, away from the intrusive media, away from everything, especially love. When Juliet and Carlisle first meet, she's convinced he's an entitled, difficult actor. So why does she keep thinking about him? All Carlisle wants is to retreat back to his home, his cats, and his quiet life, but the beautiful determined Juliet bothers him. When he accepts a patron’s role at Furs Hill, they find themselves thrown together, and he can’t deny the attraction between them. As they feed abandoned kittens, plan charity events, and learn more about each other, their relationship deepens and dislike morphs into something breathtaking and heart thuddingly scary. Will their blossoming love among the kittens be enough to stop them from pulling back and risking their hearts? Will they give in to their feelings and give true love a chance? This is a full-length sweet contemporary romance set in the frantic, fur-filled world of animal rescue. If you love happily ever afters, quirky animals, and swoony romance, this book is for you.
