Ava Reid, ya did it again.
I can’t remember reading Macbeth in school, but I’m glad I got to experience it through Roscilla, Lady Macbeth, Queen Hereafter.
Her pain and fear and bravery and cleverness rolls off the page with such vividness and grit that it’s hard not to get tangled up in her plight.
The Coda at the end was a lightbulb realization as well. Don’t skip it!
