Awesome, finally a time travel/sci fi/fantasy for adults. Ellen Wilson's novel, `In the Shadow of Shakespeare, is indeed a very well researched novel, bringing to life the world of Shakespeare and Elizabethan England. The background and attention to detail and historical fact make this book extremely convincing whilst remaining always very entertaining.A bit of prior knowledge into this subject will help readers greatly. But those who have some knowledge on the subject are most the most likely to be attracted to this novel.  Wilson plays with the controversy of Shakespeare’s identity and injects it into her tight and clever plot.The style of the writing is smooth and engaging and the characters are identifiable. This book is for intellectuals and cultured folks.What more can I say? I really enjoyed and recommend it and am looking forward to more from this writer. Just buy it. You won’t regret it.
