The Marriage Portrait. If I'm not looking right at a book I sometimes get the titles twisted, too. Sounds good. An electrifying new novel set in Renaissance Italy, and centering on the captivating young duchess Lucrezia de Medici. O'Farrell brings the world of Renaissance Italy to jewel-bright life, and offers an unforgettable portrait of a resilient young woman's battle for her very survival.

I've always wanted to read Hamnet. I will put that up towards the top of my list.
