Nothing happens.The action hinges on what things people choose not to do; what things they choose not to say, and where they choose not to say them.Never mind an entire novel set in the age of Shakespeare and Elizabeth, which somehow manages not to take us anywhere near his Globe or her Court, but which still carefully reminds us of how big a deal both figures were.While simultaneously avoiding anything to do with them whatsoever, is what I'm saying.Takes work to be that mediocre. Takes real effort.Fun and lighthearted, but ultimately too unimaginative a tale to capitalize on its many, many opportunities to entertain.Abandoned at 71 percent; YMMV.
