As a Shakespearean English minor in college Romeo & Juliet is one of my favorite works of William Shakespeare but any student of Shakespeare knows that while he may have been brilliant he was also somewhat of a literary thief, taking pieces from other works and making it his own. This theme weaves itself into the book Juliet by Anne Fortier. Jumping between present day and that of the 1340's in Siena we follow the story of Romeo & Guilietta and of the modern day counterpart. What Anne Fortier has done in this story is fantastic. I haven't found a book yet that I haven't liked which encompasses this method and her work is no different.
