Juliet's Nurse: A Novel

The International Bestseller

â€œLois Leveenâ€™s richly detailed, fascinating novel offers a wholly original and intriguing take on one of Shakespeareâ€™s most beloved playsâ€ (New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Chiaverini).

In Verona, a city ravaged by plague and political rivalries, a mother mourning the death of her day-old infant enters the household of the powerful Cappelletti family to become the wet-nurse to their newborn baby. As she serves her beloved Juliet over the next fourteen years, the nurse learns the Cappellettisâ€™ darkest secrets. Those secretsâ€”and the nurseâ€™s deep personal griefâ€”erupt across five momentous days of love and loss that destroy a daughter, and a family.

By turns sensual, tragic, and comic, Julietâ€™s Nurse gives voice to one of literatureâ€™s most memorable and distinctive characters, a woman who was both insider and outsider among Veronaâ€™s wealthy ruling class. Exploring the romance and intrigue of interwoven loyalties, rivalries, jealousies, and losses only hinted at in Shakespeareâ€™s play, this is a never-before-heard tale of the deepest love in Veronaâ€”the love between a grieving woman and the precious child of her heart.

In the tradition of Sarah Dunant, Philippa Gregory, and Geraldine Brooks, Julietâ€™s Nurse is a rich prequel that reimagines the worldâ€™s most cherished tale of love and loss, suffering and survival.
