All the Living

All Buckamster works I have been privileged to read clearly understand and thus depict the inequalities between genders and people of wealth -- or not! Her work inspires us to be part of seeking greater justice and equity for all residents of the globe. All the Living is no exception; even though I read it in probably 1985, I am still moved by the many shifts in human thought she so ably intuited and expressed in this (as in all her works). All the Living is a historical novel based on one year in the life of William Shakespeare, the year he wrote Hamlet (I think that was the play!). In 1985 I borrowed All the Living on an interlibrary loan through the Alaska State Library. To my dismay, Amazon does not even seem to be aware of the existence of this great work -- glad you that you are. Kathy Ashby kaashby@alaska.net
