Lady Macbeth by Ava Reid - not quite the Lady Macbeth that you expect

Hi, I'm Milly and this is my vlog which is mainly about books I buy, books I read and the e-books I write.
This re-imaging of one of Shakespeare's most well known characters gives a very different view of the woman we all think we know

I saw this book as a recommendation recently and got excited, because I also love MacBeth! What a bummer. I may still try it myself, because I’m not sure that I have the depth of knowledge that someone like you would have of the source material. We’ll see!
Also, I told you a while back that I’d let you know when I finished reading The Blue Book of Nebo in Welsh, and I have! It was just as brilliant. There are some turns of phrase she’ll use in her writing that differ in Welsh vs. English that were really interesting. Beyond that, the book is shorter in Welsh because she didn’t have the aspect of the story that dealt with the characters’ relationship to the Welsh language and their identity. Sometimes the tone felt more heavy in Welsh, and I don’t quite know why or how, but it was fascinating.
Anyway. Hopefully your next read will be better than this one! Ta!
