While loath to let his daughter go, this is the only way he can think of to save the family business. Juliet Capalleti is the 18 year old daughter of a prominent Florentine silk tradesman, and about to be married to a hideous soon-to-be business partner of her father’s, Jacopo. In O, Juliet Robin Maxwell tackles her own version of Shakespeare’s golden couple – bringing new characters and plots into the mix. It’s exhilarating, but scary at the same time! And once I met my husband, I knew what it was to feel that. I remember thinking to myself that when I grown up I hope to have the chance to feel such an awe-inspiring love for another person. I was drawn in by the all-consuming passion these two characters felt for each other and the sad circumstances that led to their end. Like a lot of the world, I’ve been captivated by the story of Romeo and Juliet ever since the first time I read it.
