I suppose that anyone from a Shakespeare buff to one only slightly acquainted with Romeo and Juliet will find this a highly entertaining book. Robin Maxwell is quite creative in weaving together many a thread, not only from the familiar play but various other customs and well-known figures from the period. It is a very pleasant, fun, and slightly naughty (though totally inoffensive) romp, which has the added flair of getting to know far more about characters who seem to be old friends.
Students must be cautioned not to use this book as a cheat sheet! :) Part of its charm, and indeed much of its great wit, comes from Robin Maxwell's integrating details of the Capulet/Montague feud and relationships with such figures as Lucrezia Borgia - the fun is the 'tie in,' which often has no relation to the actual play. Our heroine, Juliet, is a deliciously fun character, and captures well an era when freedom to marry whom one wishes was an intricate (if at all possible) intrigue.
There is no real theme and no attempt at huge insight - it's a thoroughly fun book where one's knowledge of Shakespeare and history only increases the potential for laughter. The author does not shield the reader from the dark side of the historical period, yet that does not dominate the action.
I'd highly recommend this book as first-rate entertainment. Those who are not especially familiar with the setting may also benefit from a vivid picture of quite realistic circumstances - even if not everyone was pal to Lucrezia Borgia.
