A young actor travels back in time to 1599 and performs at the Globe Theatre alongside Shakespeare himself. Nat and Will form an intense attachment, and when Nat wakes again in 1999 he's devastated--even after he learns that his time-traveling saved the playwright's life. Ultimately, Nat learns that love is stronger than death in this powerfully rendered historical novel/fantasy/love story.
