(Maybe a little sick and scared sometimes, but not at all disappointed.) But while we always wanted to portray her on stage, I don't know that any of us wanted to become her in real life.Īs a fan of both the source material and Hannah Capin's debut novel The Dead Queens Club, I was fully prepared to embark on a tale rich with darkness, poetry, and blood. Like many teenage girls cut from a similar cloth, I was fascinated by the story arc and motivations of Lady Macbeth. In high school I was a dramatic, Poe-loving, closet Goth.
This premise drew me to the book like a moth to the flame, in much the same way Joker drew comic book fans to the theaters. The story of Elizabeth Jade Kanjara is, at its bloody heart, a modern day retelling of Shakespeare's Macbeth, from the point of view of Lady Macbeth. I ask that readers here please keep that in mind for the length of this review, should you elect to continue.
