Hearts on the Table

This inventive retelling of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night features a diverse cast of queer, trans, and neurodivergent characters, following a fifteen-year-old feminist named Violet as she navigates love, survival, and identity amid chaos and war. After a shipwreck leaves her stranded on an enemy-occupied island, Violet disguises herself as a man to find her missing twin brother and becomes entangled in a complex web of romantic feelings, friendships, and unexpected revelations. Rich with wit and high-stakes intrigue, the story explores themes of love, loss, and self-discovery through the clever eyes of Violet.
