Join us in March for A Tip for the Hangman by Allison Epstein
History is largely told by the winners -- victors, monarchs, conquerors -- but some of the best and most important historical accounts come from the underdog.
Why We Love It
Epstein’s intimate take on Marlowe’s experiences as Elizabeth I’s spy offers the intrigue and danger of a good spy novel while also highlighting topics like religious corruption, sexuality, and morality. A Tip for the Hangman peels back the layers of Kit Marlowe and offers a familiar friend with a unclear past. Readers will be left yearning for more, even after the last page is turned.
