ROMEO AND JULIET — A New Retelling of Shakespeare's Classic Love Story

• A new prose retelling, written in English by Juan Coss

Verona, early sixteenth century. Two noble families, the Capulets and the Montagues, have hated each other for so long that no one remembers how it began. Every time their servants cross paths, the streets run with blood.

In the middle of that hatred, at a feast in the Capulet house, Romeo and Juliet meet. A single glance changes everything. But he is a Montague and she is a Capulet, and their love must be hidden from their families, from the city and from fate itself.

Juan Coss turns William Shakespeare's great tragedy into a flowing, moving novel, easy to read and faithful to the spirit of the original: the balcony, the secret wedding, the banishment, the friar's desperate plan and the ending that has moved the world for centuries.

Includes:

• 20 chapters of narrative prose

• Clear, modern language that keeps the beauty of the story

• Ideal for readers who want to enjoy the classic without the difficulty of the play

• 114 pages

A story of love, hatred and the price of being unable to forgive.
