One of the most eagerly anticipated novels of the year, the captivating and powerful untold story of Romeo and Juliet. The first time Romeo Montague sets eyes on young Rosaline Capulet, he falls instantly in love. Rosaline, strong-willed and independent, is unsure of Romeo's intentions but with her father determined that she join a convent, this handsome and charming stranger offers her the chance of a different life.
Soon, however, Rosaline begins to doubt everything that Romeo has told her. She breaks off the match, only for Romeo's gaze to turn towards her cousin, thirteen-year-old Juliet. Gradually, Rosaline realizes that it is not only Juliet's reputation at stake, but her life. With only hours remaining before she will be banished behind the nunnery walls, will Rosaline save Juliet from her Romeo? Or can this story only ever end one way?
A subversive, powerful retelling of Shakespeare's most famous tale, narrated by a fierce, forgotten voice: this is Rosaline's story.
Hamnet meets My Dark Vanessa in this fierce, feminist, intensely gripping novel; captivating and chillingly relevant, FAIR ROSALINE takes everything you thought you knew about Romeo and Juliet and turns it on its head.
