Description
When 17-year-old Abigal Walker, desperate to escape her family and her tedious factory job in the Eas, responds to the ad, 'Man in Territory seeks correspondence with adventurous gal,' she thinks she's found her ticket to love and freedom. She falls in love with Henry through the romantic letters he sends her about his home in the West and agrees to travel to Shakespeare to become his wife. Instead she finds herself lured to a rough mining town and twice-deceived. First, she is the sole show more woman ever to set foot in Shakespeare. Secondly, her betrothed is not the poetic Romeo of the love letters, but Henry, an elderly saloon keeper and former outlaw. Nothing turns out as you expect in this unusual and quirky novel - from Abigal's solutions to her problems to the appearance of Shakespeare himself in dramatic form. show lessTags
