First the push, then the shove. A fall without grace. She'll go toe to toe with everything she's got. En pointe to point. Sorry won't cut it. On a November evening in New York City, Anora, a rising ballet star, covered head to toe in the remains of what would have been her twenty-first birthday feast, sees, once again, the sorry snob of a guy who shoved her earlier, attempting to steal her cab. Ethan is dining in style and hasn't got a clue that Anora's about to return the favor. Instead of letting bygones be bygones--after all, he did say he was sorry while tossing money on her fallen form--Anora marches into the five-star restaurant, giving him a verbal shove that will change his life. As a gift to herself, Anora serves Ethan a dish of revenge best consumed publicly. Yeah, that'll teach him. Anora is tired of hearing the word sorry. It has always been what's fueled her courage to work harder, do more, and be more. Accidents do happen, don't they? Who will clean up the mess? Ethan has never been more sorry. Wait, scratch that. Sorry he isn't. But sorry he will be after seeing himself through the eyes of a green-eyed dancing faerie, if he doesn't find the courage to follow his dreams and his heart. Confronting his dad is one thing; finding the waif again is another. Until he does. Then, his life will never be the same. No, he isn't sorry. Never was, never will be. Even when she has the last word--sorry.

In the spring of 1613 Mr William Shakespeare, a gentleman farmer in Warwickshire, returns to London. It is a ceremonial visit; he has no further theatrical ambitions. But the city is still reeling from the terrorist panic of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, and fate soon forces him to take up his pen again. It was never possible to write about Henry VII while his granddaughter Elizabeth was Queen, but now he must. It is a perilous enterprise: King James I's spies are everywhere. There is no evidence that Shakespeare wrote Henry VII, but in a compelling piece of historical recreation, Robert Winder asks: what if he did? And after 400 years, he gives us a unique world première - a brand-new, full-length Shakespeare play, incorporated brilliantly into this extraordinary novel. THE FINAL ACT OF MR SHAKESPEARE is an exhilarating portrait of England's greatest author - not in love but raging against the dying of the light. It is an outrageous tour de force of theatrical imagination, full of the spirit of the Bard.
