(3) YA Beatrice longs to study medicine; Benedick imagines himself a writer. Hero wants to protect her father, and Claude just wants Hero. Shakespeare fans will recognize these characters from Much Ado About Nothing, but George sets their romantic frustrations amid a foundering speakeasy. A carefully crafted retelling dedicated to both capturing the nuances of Shakespeare's play and creating an accurate Prohibition-era setting. Author's note. Bib.
