I think the cover definitely caught my eye. Between these two books I was draw to find out what more this one had to offer honestly, just from the look of the cover. I love the angle of this book, focusing on the powerful women in shakespere's plays. This book reminds me of the musical six which recounts king henry's wives and their stories. In the same way, even though these women were never the main focus in these narratives, now through fiction they can be.
