Enter the Body Summary

Enter the Body by Joy McCullough

At once tender, poetic and ferocious, Enter The Body breathes new life into the Bard's most tragic heroines. More than a tribute to Shakespeare, this kaleidoscopic, ambitious novel-in-verse gives Juliet, Ophelia, Cordelia, and Lavinia the chance to tell their own stories full of passion, justice, sisterhood, and love. Simply spectacular.-Michael L. Printz Award winner Laura Ruby, author of Bone Gap

In the room beneath a stage's trapdoor, Shakespeare's dead teenage girls compare their experiences and retell the stories of their lives, their loves, and their fates in their own words. Bestselling author Joy McCullough offers a brilliant testament to how young women can support each other and reclaim their stories in the aftermath of trauma.

Body turns Shakespeare on his head while honoring his talent as the girls retells their stories on their own terms.... Truly outstanding.-Booklist, starred review

By innovatively mining feminist themes of autonomy, exploitation, and patriarchy, McCullough boldly reconceptualizes Shakespeare's version of the female point of view for a new generation of Bard enthusiasts.-The Horn Book, starred review

Form as a mode of personal expression is conscious, deliberate, and stunningly effective here and elevates this novel above and beyond many run-of-the-mill Shakespeare retellings to a carefully constructed and emotionally resonant consideration of tragedy and autonomy.... This will be a revelation for teens seeking to claim their own narrative as a distinct and whole person outside of adult or societal input.-BCCB, starred review

 A strong, powerful look at the bonds women share and the power telling stories has to unburden us all.-SLC, starred review

This entrancing, fiercely feminist examination of William Shakespeare's tragedies gives his female characters the opportunity to tell their own stories.-Shelf Awareness, starred review

Elevates and reenergizes the canon; it's an absolute must-read regardless of readers' knowledge or opinion of Shakespeare.-SLJ, starred review
