Lady Macbeth's Daughter

Lady Macbeth's Daughter by Klein, Lisa. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781599903477.

The daughter Macbeth might have had, if Shakespeare had thought to create her… Albia has grown up with no knowledge of her mother of her father, the powerful Macbeth. Instead she knows the dark lure of the Wychelm Wood and the moors, where shes been raised by three strange sisters. Its only when the ambitious Macbeth seeks out the sisters to foretell his fate that Albias life becomes tangled with the man who leaves nothing but bloodshed in his wake. She even falls in love with Fleance, Macbeths rival for the throne. Yet when Albia learns that she has the second sight, she must decide whether to ignore the terrible future she foresees―or to change it. Will she be able to save the man she loves from her murderous father? And can she forgive her parents their wrongs, or must she destroy them to save Scotland from tyranny? In her highly anticipated follow-up to Ophelia, Lisa Klein delivers a powerful reimagining of Shakespeares Macbeth, featuring a young woman so seamlessly drawn it seems impossible she was not part of the Bards original play.
