In Othello, Shakespeare creates a powerful drama of a marriage that begins with fascination (between the exotic Moor Othello and the Venetian lady Desdemona), with elopement, and with intense mutual devotion and that ends precipitately with jealous rage and violent deaths. He sets this story in the romantic world of the Mediterranean, moving the action from Venice to the island of Cyprus and giving it an even more exotic coloring with stories of Othello`s African past.

"This rambling, chatty audiobook draws listeners in slowly (sometimes painstakingly so) as it follows the lives of three dynamic women - jilted Gemma Hogan; literary agent Jojo Harvey; and bestselling English author Lily Wright, who "stole" Gemma`s boyfriend Anton. Gemma, hurt and betrayed by her best friend`s actions, must put her emotions on hold to care for her mam after her dad takes off with a younger woman. Reader Donnelly enthusiastically captures Mam`s dour Irish voice and Gemma`s younger, more innocent one. Her energetic reading style also helps sustain readers during the book`s plodding moments, such as when Keyes describes the happenings of Gemma`s work day, her drive home, her trips to the chemist and so on. The details don`t...
