I tried so hard to finish this on Shakespeare's birthday but, alas, it was not to be (which, I suppose, answers that question).

I loved the Stratford Man duology. I'm not sure which of my friends to recommend it to, but I loved it even more than the first part of the Promethean Age. And I think I may have officially adopted her characterizations of Shakespeare and Marlowe. Especially Marlowe.

Now if I could only figure who to recommend this to...
