This is such a beautifully written romance with one of the most interesting plots I've read in a while. Tommy and Will are on a quest to find the answer to the much debated question of whether Christopher Marlowe, the playwright, actually died an early death or faked his demise so he could start a new life and continue his writing under the pen name William Shakespeare. The author obviously put a lot of research into this legend, and the story is so much richer for it.Both Tommy and Will were wonderfully drawn and will live in my memory for a long time. Tommy is in remission from Leukemia, while Will is recovering from serving as a Marine in the Middle East. I was so happy for them as I finished the book that I nearly cried happy tears. Published in January 2012, I have no doubt this book will be nominated for numerous awards by year end, if not before. Sarah Black is brilliant, and certainly flexes her abundant literary muscles in this story. Highly recommend.
