My favorite book
My favorite book: Maybe Juliet?
Hmm… is very complicated to choose just one book, because I love reads books, every month I tried to buy one or my father give me one of my long list… In my home we had more than 600 books and just 110 are mines and the majority of them are from my father.
The book that I choose is Juliet written by Anne Fortier who is American and published this book in 2010.
When I bought it? One day in 2014, when I had 16 years old, I went with my father and big sister to the Antarctica bookshop, I want to read a new book and my father said to me that he will be bought for me but the only condition was that the book was not very expensive. I look around the bookshop and this book called my attention, so I asked for the price and was very expensive BUT the book had two pages in not very good condition and the book cover was a little broken, so I asked again for the price because I think that had to lower the cost…and I was right, the books were cheaper, so I said to my father I want this book, please! And in four hours…I read the entire book.
I really LOVE the history of this book, because I´m really interested in the original history of Romeo and Juliet and this book takes the original writer Luigi da Porto and the others writers like Shakespeare. And Anne Fortier take all of the writer and the original history to create a book with mystery, love.
I don’t have a favorite quote, because is complicated, the book is very fascinating and interesting, that I can’t choose a quote.
Here is the book back cover:
“Juliet, an ambitious, utterly engaging historical novel on the scale of The Thirteenth Tale and The Birth of Venus, follows a young woman who discovers that her family’s origins reach all the way back to literature’s greatest star-crossed lovers.
When Julie Jacobs inherits a key to a safety-deposit box in Siena, Italy, she is told it will lead her to an old family treasure. Soon she is launched on a winding and perilous journey into the history of her ancestor Giulietta, whose legendary love for a young man named Romeo rocked the foundations of medieval Siena. As Julie crosses paths with the descendants of the families involved in Shakespeare’s unforgettable blood feud, she begins to realize that the notorious curse—“A plague on both your houses!”—is still at work, and that she is the next target. It seems that the only one who can save Julie from her fate is Romeo—but where is he?”
