ALL OUR YESTERDAYS A Novel of Lady Macbeth

This moving audiobook imagining Lady Macbeth's early life receives extraordinary narrations by Angus King and Ell Potter. Ten years before the events of Shakespeare's play, "The Lady," at 15, is forced to marry the brutish Mormaer of Moray. They have a son, "The Boy," who displeases his sadistic father. Macbeth kills Moray in battle, occupies his castle, then falls in love with and marries "The Lady." Once "The Boy" learns who killed his father, his hostility toward Macbeth grows. King portrays "The Boy" with clarity and childlike urgency. Potter, as "The Lady," is soft-spoken, fiercely protective of her son, and passionate about her new husband. Thanks to outstanding performances by King and Potter, this fictionalized backstory will make reading MACBETH even more meaningful. S.J.H.
