Rezensionen zu diesem Buch

Shakespeare reloaded

Margaret Atwood überzeugt mal wieder mit super vielschichtigen Charakteren und einem Plot, der etwas Magisches hat. Die Geschichte spielt auf so vielen Ebenen, dass es ein Wunder ist, dass man ihr trotzdem so leicht folgen kann.
Ein spannendes Beispiel dafür, wie Klassiker (hier Shakespeare) neu aufgegriffen werden können und Raum für moderne Interpretationen lassen. Eine tolle Hommage an ein bedeutendes Werk der Literaturgeschichte hier in einer sehr fesselnden Romanform.
