Hagseed by Margaret Atwood

Hagseed
Margaret Atwood
2017, Kindle ebook

Former theatre director Felix starts a theatre program in a prison with the plan to take revenge on those who are responsible for his downfall. This is a retelling of Shakespeare's The Tempest.

I was unfamiliar with The Tempest but didn't find that that mattered, and I actually didn't realise it would be a retelling until I started reading. A great tale of revenge and pettiness that keeps the reader (well, kept me) guessing as to what is true or what is imagined.
