Description
Sparky Christina and her saintly adopted sister Pam couldn't be more different. And when they meet similarly mismatched friends Jago and Peter, the four embark on a dazzling series of pairings and partings, outrageous coincidences and eleventh-hour entrances interrupted one disastrous Halloween when schoolboy revelry turns horribly wrong. Three years on, as Christina analyses the wit, cruelty and crossed genders of Shakespearean comedy, the cast of her own life reunites and the curtain falls on some gloriously unexpected partnerships.

Reviews

Barbara Trapido couldn't write a boring sentence if she tried
FAY WELDON
-
Ravishing
SUNDAY TIMES
-
A brilliant book
MARY WESLEY, DAILY MAIL
-
She wraps up all the golden threads with dazzling wit ... Think Measure for Measure here and a touch of The Tempest there ... Trapido's pen drips with sensuousness and sexuality
THE TIMES
-
She is simply dynamite … There are no apparent bounds to Trapido's skill, her inventiveness and her knowledge of the endlessly surprising and devious ways in which people deal with each other
PHILIP HENSHER, GUARDIAN
-
Juggling by Barbara Trapido is, I think, already well known but it should be even more so. It has the best piece of Shakespeare criticism in it I've ever read
KATHERINE RUNDELL, GUARDIAN
