The Story of King Lear

The Story of King Lear by Melania G. Mazzucco, published by Steerforth Press in 2016.

You used to have everything and now you have nothing. Who's madder than you?Old King Lear has decided to retire from his royal duties. He calls his three daughters to him, and asks each to tell him how much they love him. The eldest two, Goneril and Regan, flatter him with their words. Cordelia - the youngest and, until now, his favourite - only says that she loves him as a daughter must love her father. Furious, he disinherits her and divides his kingdom between her two sisters.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift.
