The Fool's Girl

I scraped my wrist on a book today--The Fool's Girl, by Celia Rees. I'd much rather get scraped by a book than anything else!
This novel is a sort of sequel to Shakespeare's Twelfth Night,  in which Viola's daughter Violetta along with the fool Feste end up in London, where they meet William Shakespeare and Violetta tells him of her mother's adventures which 'Will' apparently then puts into a play. According to Ms. Rees, Illyria does not long stay happy, but is in a horrible state, and Violetta is trying to put it back to rights, with the help, (or not,) of characters from the original play as well as new additions. It started out very confusingly, going back and forth from Violetta, Lady Maria, and Feste telling about the events leading up to their coming to London, but now, (I'm not quite halfway through, this book has been unusually slow-going for me,) it's getting clearer though I'm still not sure how they ended up in London!
When I finish reading it, I'll give it a review out of five stars. And then...the next book I read...and the next...and on and on...with also get a review.
