Four stars just for it being fun to read. This the third book I've read from the Hogarth Shakespeare project, after [b:Hag-Seed 28588073 Hag-Seed Margaret Atwood https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1463887982s/28588073.jpg 49490147] and [b:Macbeth 33952851 Macbeth (Hogarth Shakespeare) Jo Nesbø https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1507978598s/33952851.jpg 54925798], and my favorite of the three. None have been completely satisfying, maybe because it's hard to recreate the stories and capture the pacing of Shakespeare in today's world, but it is interesting to see the different attempts. I give Anne Tyler credit for bringing energy to the old “need to get married for a green card” scenario.
