Summary
The author of Will and My Father Had a Daughter revisits Shakespeare's controversial play, The Merchant of Venice, in the story of a young Jew, Shiloh ben Goz$n, who flees the Spanish Inquisition with his infant daughter and a valuable turquoise ring that has a profound influence on his life and those of five remarkable women.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: A radical retelling of Shakespeare's most controversial play-from the author of My Father Had a Daughter.
Acclaimed novelist Grace Tiffany revisits Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice and offers a radical new portrait of one of the most controversial characters in literature-Shylock.
In 1568, twenty-one-year-old Shiloh ben Gozán flees the Spanish Inquisition to live openly as a Jew in Venice. He brings with him a baby daughter and an oddly made turquoise ring, given to him by a woman he cannot forget.
In Venice, as this ring is hidden, stolen, traded, lost, and finally found again, it shapes not just Shiloh's life but also that of his great enemy and business rival, whom he finally-and horrifyingly-confronts in a Venetian courtroom. The ring also becomes entangled in the fortunes of five women: Leah, Shiloh's first love; Jessica, his rebellious daughter; Nerissa, a maidservant; Portia, an outrageously rich and alarmingly intelligent heiress; and lastly Xanthe, a Spanish refugee who alone can unlock the secret of his past.
