Book Description
Excerpt from The Shakespeare Water-Cure: A Burlesque Comedy in Three Acts Lady Macbeth. Here have we boarded now these six long months - ever since that doleful day when we fled Scotland in such haste. Things were not exactly pleasant there when we came away. There had been a slight struggle for the crown, which ended rather unfortunately for King Duncan and his family who happened to be staying in our own castle at the time. But all's fair in love and war, and I never could see why the nobility and gentry chose to make it so unpleasant for us afterwards. Banquo in particular gave us a good deal of trouble, and I believe it took some time before he was finally settled. The whole thing did not amount to much, and never bothered me in the least; but it worried Macbeth considerably, for he was yet but young in deed, and needed seasoning. In fact, all this rather unhinged Macbeth's mind, and utterly ruined his digestion; he got into the way of seeing ghosts whenever we gave a dinner-party, and so he gradually took to drink, and has never been the same man since. Each day sees him more of a prey to whims and whisky. So long as that unfortunate prejudice against us prevails in our native country I suppose we shall be obliged to stay in this wretched establishment, whose owner dubs it by courtesy a Water-Cure. Only this morning the wretch waylaid me with a bill, the which I cannot pay, for ducats are not ready in my purse; my last went to that fool Bassanio when he staked his all at poker weeks ago. Unless we raise the money by this coming eve the landlord swears that we must go. Oh! lordly family of great Macbeth, why should we sink to such a level of disgrace that common people glory in thy fall? Enter Shylock, L. Ha! here comes the usurer! Perhaps from him I may gain help.

Book Description
“A gripping, sinister fable!” —Margaret Atwood, via Twitter ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR • GLAMOUR • GOOD HOUSEKEEPING • LIT HUB • THRILLIST King has tenderly staked out a territory for his wife and three daughters, Grace, Lia, and Sky. Here on his island, women are protected from the chaos and violence of men on the mainland. The cult-like rituals and therapies they endure fortify them from the spreading toxicity of a degrading world. But when King disappears and two men and a boy wash ashore, the sisters’ safe world begins to unravel. Over the span of one blistering hot week, a psychological cat-and-mouse game plays out. Sexual tensions and sibling rivalries flare as the sisters are forced to confront the amorphous threat the strangers represent. A haunting, riveting debut, The Water Cure is a fiercely poetic feminist revenge fantasy that’s a startling reflection of our time.
