The Los Angeles Times-bestselling author of Helen of Pasadena
offers a smart, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about new love, new life,
and Shakespeare.
"A charmingly funny and effortless read....wonderfully developed cast of
characters"
-- Library Journal (STARRED REVIEW)
Elizabeth Lancaster, an English professor at Pasadena City College,
finds her perfectly dull but perfectly orchestrated life upended one
summer by three men: her movie-star ex-husband, a charming political
operative, and William Shakespeare. Until now, she'd been content living
in the shadow of her high-profile and highly accomplished family. Then
her college boyfriend and one-time husband of seventeen months, A-list
action star FX Fahey, shows up with a job offer that she can't resist,
and Elizabeth's life suddenly gets a whole lot more interesting. She's
off to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival for the summer to make sure FX
doesn't humiliate himself in an avant-garde production of A Midsummer
Night's Dream.
As she has done so skillfully with her novels, The Sweeney Sisters and
Helen of Pasadena, which spent more than a year on the Los Angeles
Times bestseller list, Lian Dolan spins a lively, smart, and very funny
tale of a woman reinventing her life in unexpected ways.
