Why read it?
1 author picked The Daylight Gate as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I am secretly, or not so secretly now, in love with Jeanette Winterson. So I was very happy to discover that Winterson wrote a novel based on the 1612 Lancashire Witch Trials featuring an appearance by Mr. William Shakespeare. Not that this is a happy novel. It is brutal and made more horrific by the facts behind it, but that just makes it all the more enthralling to contemplate what humans are capable of doing to each other.
From Clarissa's list on wherein a fictional Shakespeare enters stage right.
