If this was just the first play, ‘The Love of the Nightingale’ it would easily be a four (maybe even five) star read but the inclusion of the second play ‘The Grace of Mary Traverse’ pulled this book down a star in rating.
Yet I would certainly recommend the first play, though feel like I must say it deals with subjects such as violence to women and rape.
If that doesn’t set off any triggers for you then this is a great play to read and I’d love to get the chance to watch it.
