A Charmed Life
.
I love all things aristocratic, so I was instantly drawn to A Charmed Life: Growing Up in Macbeth’s Castle, by Liza Campbell. Liza was the last child to be born in Cawdor Castle, the locale of Shakepeare’s Macbeth. This is the story of a family, particularly Liza’s father, the twenty-fifth Thane of Cawdor, who eventually destroys himself, his family and his family’s legacy. Fascinating, sad, honest and humorous, Liza captures it all.
This one sounds really interesting! I have to give it a look while we’re out and about today if I can get into the bookstore! 🙂
