Macbeth is a thriller novel by Norwegian writer Jo Nesbø, a re-telling of the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare for a more modern audience. This is part of the Hogarth Shakespeare project. Macbeth was released in April 2018. The book tells the story of Macbeth in a dystopian, imaginary Fife during the 1970s.
What a spectacular adaption of Shakespeare’s MacBeth.
I was gifted this book some 5 years ago but stopped reading it halfway through. Probably due to my language skills as a non-native speaker I didn’t find access to the style of writing.
Totally different reading experience now. I loved reading it. Highy recommended.
