HTML:<b>From the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling co-author of <i>Mad Honey</i> comes an “inspiring” (<i>Elle</i>) novel about two women, centuries apart—one of whom is the real author of Shakespeare’s plays—who&#160;are both forced to hide behind another name.</b><br /> <br /> <b>“You’ll fall in love with Emilia Bassano, the unforgettable heroine based on a real woman that Picoult brings vividly to life in her brilliantly researched new novel.”—Kristin Hannah, author of <i>The Women</i></b><br /> Young playwright Melina Green has just written a new work inspired by the life of her Elizabethan ancestor Emilia Bassano. But seeing it performed is unlikely, in a theater world where the playing field isn’t level for women. As&#160;Melina wonders if she dares risk failure again, her best friend takes the decision out of her hands&#160;and submits&#160;the play&#160;to a festival under a male pseudonym.<br /> In 1581, young Emilia Bassano is&#160;a ward of English aristocrats. Her lessons on languages,&#160;history, and writing have endowed her with a sharp wit and a gift for storytelling, but like most women of her day, she&#160;is allowed no voice of her own.&#160;Forced to become a mistress to the Lord Chamberlain, who oversees all theatre productions in England, Emilia sees firsthand how the words of playwrights can move an audience. She begins to form a plan to secretly bring a play of her own to the stage—by paying an actor named William Shakespeare to front her work.<br /> Told in intertwining timelines, <i>By Any Other Name,</i> a sweeping tale of ambition, courage, and desire centers two women who are determined to create something beautiful despite the prejudices they face. Should a writer do whatever it takes to see her story live on . . . no matter the cost? This remarkable novel, rooted in primary historical sources, ensures the name Emilia Bassano will no longer be forgotten.<br /> <b>This audiobook contains a bonus PDF with Shakespearean references, Sources and Resources, and an image from the book.</b>.
