	Reviews : "Madam Shakespeare is a novel based on the correspondence between the one and only Will and his wife Anne. She sends him to London to develop his dramatic genius while bringing up and providing for his children. More tender, more mischievous, more detailed than any other biography “the exchanged correspondence” of Madam Shakespeare illustrates how great writers become what they are through the talents and patience of their wives, who advise and suggest, at the same time remaining tolerant and discreet. This correspondence should replace the sentimental ‘Love Letters’ that is wheeled out every five years to fill up empty seats when a theatre production doesn’t stay the course…… The least that can be said is that the children will get to know something about Shakespeare. And don’t say that these missives are apocryphal because it’s not true……." “The Anca phenomenon” http://ddumasenmargedutheatre.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/04/28/le-cas-anca.html
