SUM UP THE BOOK IN A TWEET

This is an enriching story of life and loss; love and hate; trust and deceit; restraint and disregard; innocence and cunning. It is lavishly sweetened with honey. There are life lessons for everyone. Now to read Romeo and Juliet. Barbara Clarke

The perspective from a wet nurse gives a complete new spin on the Romeo & Juliet story. You can feel what it was like to live during that time and relate to what it took to survive. Sonja Topolinsky

Juliet’s Nurse takes a familiar tale and invents a back story so convincing that Shakespeare’s actual dialogue seems natural and unforced. Len Dvorkin

This book brought to life the 14th century, including the Plague and deadly earthquake. The characters and Verona were well drawn. Irene Watchorn

Juliet’s Nurse takes on an “adoptive mother’s” strength to enhance a child’s life and heal her own. Marilyn Sheppard

Clever subway read based on an ever-compelling classic, like a Beatles version of an Isley Brothers hit. Cynthia Martin

The writing was enjoyable, it was great at the beginning, I so much wanted to love the book but just could not stay interested. Gabrielle Enright

This book is an immersion in the world of Verona, Italy, in the 1300s. Clever references to Shakespeare’s play are combined with interesting details of life in that time. Cheryl Heide
