Title: Brace Yourself
Review: This was my first experience with Mr. Gruber and I found this novel compelling! The wonderful thing about Shakespeare is that for such a famous poet we know close to nothing about how he lived his life, which provides novelists, like Mr. Gruber, with a blank page on which to create the life of the Bard as he sees fit. Mr. Gruber does an exceptional job of keeping it believable and painting a reasonable, believable, respectable painting of what WS may have been like.With endless possibilities, with a multitude of liberties available for the taking, Mr. Gruber does a fine job of keeping this adventure believable and never fully crossing the line into the land of the absurd.It's a great combination of historical fact (what little facts we know) and fictitous predicaments and possibilities woven together by the narration of interesting characters both past and present.It's worth exploring!
