Before Juliet, there was Rosaline. Fair Rosaline by Natasha Solomons reclaims the voice of the young woman Romeo first professed to love in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet — a woman dismissed by history, written off in a few lines, and then forgotten — and places her at the fierce, burning centre of her own story. Set in the passionate world of Renaissance Verona, this is the account of a clever, spirited young woman who sees Romeo for exactly what he is: dangerous, manipulative, and consumed by his own romantic mythology. Solomons writes with razor-sharp wit and unflinching conviction, dismantling one of literature's most celebrated love stories to reveal the predatory dynamics hidden beneath its poetry. Fair Rosaline is a bold, feminist reimagining that asks what it truly means to be erased from a narrative, and whether reclaiming your own story is the most radical act of all — a question that will stay with the reader long after the final page.
