The Fruit Palace de Charles Nicholl
A remarkable, enchanting, account of life in Colombia, particularly the drugs trade - evocative pen portraits of people and places, in towns, by the sea and in the mountains. A delight from cover to cover.

From a deposition Shakespeare signed in a lawsuit against his landlord, Mountjoy, Nicholl has expanded the matter to fill this speculative biography. It has interesting details about life in the time Shakespeare lived and the people around him but little of substance about Shakespeare. Omitting the word "his" from the subtitle would be a more accurate label. Still, it made interesting reading for the period details. Bill Bryson's book Shakespeare: the world as a stage is a more interesting and entertaining account.… (més)
Reading this at the same time as The Power Broker does Nicholl no favors. The explanation/epxloration of the Elizabethan spy world is meandering and boring, with scads of side stories that just seem pointless by the end. Not something I can really recommend.
Enjoyed the bits about the paintings, not about geneology.
