Sarah Smith’s Chasing Shakespeares was a fun read; I read it all in one day (when I should have been working/sleeping). It was described on the back as “A first-rate thriller…” and it was that, but my favorite parts were the parts that took place in London and Stratford, because they described places I have been and want very badly to go back to. Joe Roper is a grad student working with an archival collection of Elizabethan documents at Northeastern University in Massachusetts. Joe has wanted to write a biography of Shakespeare since he was 9 years old, so going through this collection is supposed to be a dream come true - except that all of the materials Joe is looking at in the collection are fakes. When Joe comes across a letter that just might be genuine, he gets excited, until he reads it closely and sees that it may prove that William Shakespeare of Stratford did not write the plays attributed to him. On to the scene bursts Posy Gould, who wants a piece of the archival action, too. Posy is a Harvard grad student looking for a thesis topic and something to make her famous in her own right, instead of always being identified with her rich, Hollywood-producer father. Posy suggests that the two go to London and see an expert to determine if the letter is a fake or not and to do some reserach on Shakespeare and the authorship controversy. It’s the chance of a lifetime, so Joe agrees. The rest of the book takes place in England with Joe and Posy looking to solve the literary mystery. I won’t say anything more; I don’t want to give anything away! And while I greatly enjoyed the mystery part of the book, my most favorite parts were the descriptions of London and of Stratford. As a first-time visitor to London, Joe is enthralled with everything, and he totally reminds me of how I felt when I went to England in 2004. Indeed, reading the book made me want to go back to England more badly than I have done for awhile. I can’t think of better praise than that!
