A storm brews in the illustrious town of Elsinore, Massachusetts, and no one knows it yet.
Not Hamilton âHamâ Dane III, whoâs angry because itâs only been one month since the untimely death of his billionaire father, and Hamâs uncle, Claude, has already taken control of the familyâs empire. And thatâs not even to mention the blooming romance between Claude and Ham's mother, Gretchen.
Not Harry Yeoh, whoâs desperately in love with his best friend but finding it more and more difficult to hide as dark secrets threaten to destroy their relationship.
Not Lia Polonio, whoâs struggling to find the balance between her feelings and the demands of her controlling father and older brother.
And certainly not Rosie Chan or Gil Stern, who think theyâve just landed the internship that will get them into Harvard.
But all it will take is one mysterious messageâa call for revenge from Hamâs late fatherâfor Elsinore to descend into chaos. And once the downward spiral begins, thereâs no guarantee that everyone will make it out alive.
A bold retelling of Hamlet for a modern audience, Allegra M. Walkerâs sophomore novel puts a fresh new spin on Shakespeareâs classic story. Poignant, dramatic, and often darkly humorous, HamLIT is guaranteed to delight teens and adults alike.
