Ophelia, the Rose of Elsinore
Mary Cowden Clarke
Lu par Elizabeth Klett
This story is from Mary Cowden Clarke's multi-volume work The Girlhood of Shakespeare's Heroines, in which she imagined the early lives of characters from Portia to Beatrice to Lady Macbeth. In her revision of Ophelia from Hamlet, she creates a backstory for Shakespeare's tragic heroine, from her infancy to just before the action of Hamlet begins.(Summary by Elizabeth Klett)

I enjoyed reading about Ophelia’s childhood and adolescence. She is a very complex character and her story is so interesting and moving. This story is a fitting prequel for her. I must also say the narration was excellent from Elizabeth Klett. I look forward to listening to more books narrated by her.
