Othello

'If we wish to know the force of human genius we should read Shakespeare' William Hazlitt

A soldier of great standing and a newly married man, Othello seems to be in an enviable position. And yet, when his supposed friend sows doubts in his mind about his wife's fidelity, he is gradually consumed by suspicion. In this tragedy of strange, ornate beauty and remarkable psychological power, innocence is corrupted, and goodness and happiness are wantonly destroyed.

Reviews

Grand but intimate, earthy but also dreamy

—— Observer

Whitman had a fluid personality that made him able to ''merge'' invisibly, and with great empathy, with the images of other people and events that lodged in his mind...unprecedented assembling of rhythm, sound, language and images

—— New York Times

The great unrhymed, long-lined, self-celebratory sensation of the 1850s

—— Lost Angeles Times

Appleby Farm is as sweet and delicious as Freya's scones, and just as moreish. What a cosy, delicious slice of romance!

—— Michele Gorman

Rustic romance at its very best with a charming cast of characters - warm and endearing and engaging. As comforting as hot tea and toast made on the Aga!

—— Veronica Henry, author of The Beach Hut Next Door
