About this product

Product Information

A USA Today Bestseller! A propulsive and piercing debut, set ten years before the events of Shakespeare's historic play, about the ambition, power, and fate that define one of literature's most notorious figures: Lady Macbeth. Scotland, the 11th Century. Born in a noble household and granddaughter of a forgotten Scottish king, a young girl carries the guilt of her mother's death and the weight of an unknowable prophecy. When she is married, at fifteen, to the Mormaer of Moray, she experiences firsthand the violence of a sadistic husband and a kingdom constantly at war. To survive with her young son in a superstitious realm, she must rely on her own cunning and wit, especially when her husband's downfall inadvertently sets them free. Suspicious of the dark devices that may have led to his father's death, her son watches as his mother falls in love with the enigmatic thane Macbeth. Now a woman of stature, Lady Macbeth confronts a world of masculine power and secures the protection of her family. But the coronation of King Duncan and the political maneuvering of her cousin Macduff set her on a tragic course, one where her own success might mean embracing the very curse that haunts her and risking the child she loves.

Reviews
"As sharp and cutting as an obsidian dagger, Joel H. Morris's All Our Yesterdays dives deep into Lady Macbeth's backstory, replacing desire with fear, calculation with grief, and loss, not ambition, as the spark that ignites her bloody journey. You'll never read Shakespeare's play the same way again." -Liz Michalski, author of Darling Girl "A gorgeous evocation of a mother and son in a prison of their own too-powerful story, All Our Yesterdays is a triumph of both research and imagination, a heartbreaking and revelatory read." -Jennifer Croft, author of The Extinction of Irena Rey "Hail, Macbeth! A stunning meditation on the auspiciousness of silence, and intergenerational anguish. The evolution of Shakespeare's Medea is a marvel to behold by Morris's pen. I could not put this book down." -Isa Arsén, author of Shoot the Moon, "Lady Macbeth is surely one of our most instantly recognizable characters, a shorthand now for heartless and overweening ambition. In All Our Yesterdays , Morris has given her the deep, nuanced, and complicated backstory she deserves. With witches! Thoroughly engrossing, highly recommended." -Karen Joy Fowler, author of Booth and We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves "As sharp and cutting as an obsidian dagger, Joel H.

A stunning meditation on the auspiciousness of silence, and intergenerational anguish. The evolution of Shakespeare's Medea is a marvel to behold by Morris's pen. I could not put this book down." -Isa Arsén, author of Shoot the Moon, "As sharp and cutting as an obsidian dagger, Joel H.

A most enjoyable setup for the Scottish play." - Kirkus Reviews (starred) "Thoughtful, eerie, and full of medieval magic, Morris' take on the much-maligned lady will perhaps have you rooting for her and her partner, or at least, feeling some sympathy for her quest of vengeance." -CrimeReads "All characters are drawn with inventiveness and depth. . . Entirely illuminating. . . [A] beautifully realized tale of a daughter, mother, and wife ultimately at the mercy of Fate's unknowable interventions." - Booklist "[A] wonderfully atmospheric novel. Morris drops the reader into a fully realized 11th-century world with all the sights and sounds. Carefully chosen words and small details shape this fearful and foreboding world. . . [A] rich study of one of the most vilified literary characters." - Historical Novels Review "As sharp and cutting as an obsidian dagger, Joel H.
