Book Blitz: Othlello by C.E. Wilson



Othello (Shakespeare for Everyone Else, #2)
Release Date: 2013

Summary from Goodreads:
Shakespeare’s work features some of the most memorable stories and characters ever created, yet for too many curious readers the combination of ultra-dense dialogue and unfamiliar historical settings make tackling the Bard’s work something between a tedious chore and a confusing mess of bird-bolts and quondam carpet-mongers.

While it’s nearly impossible to replicate or improve on these works, it is (thanks to their timeless nature) possible to make them more accessible to a wider audience.


In this Young Adult retelling of one of William Shakespeare’s most memorable plays, join C.E. Wilson as she breathes new life into Othello, the second book in her series Shakespeare for Everyone Else.

Excerpt 
Orion’s eyes widened. “I’m…I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to imply—”
Imply? You didn’t imply anything! You said it straight out! Can you just forget what I told you? If this is how you’re going to act then I wish that I never said anything! Orion, I don’t think she’s cheating on you, I just thought you should know what I saw between her and Micah!”
I know! I get it, I get it,” Orion said. “I’m sorry. I know what you’re doing, Archer. I really don’t think that Devony would cheat on me, let alone with Micah but damn, I can’t get these thoughts out of my head. I need to know if there’s a way to prove this. Even if she might still be faithful, I can’t convince myself of that fact. Your words…” he trailed off, looking at his tray, “…poisoned me.”
That was never my intention,” Archer said. “Look, I’m sorry about what I said. Is there anything I can do?”

 “Proof.”
