More about the book

Exploring the identity of Mr. W. H., the mysterious dedicatee of Shakespeare's Sonnets, the narrative delves into a theory positing that the sonnets were addressed to a boy actor named Willie Hughes. The story unfolds through the eyes of a narrator recounting the obsession of his friend Erskine, who grapples with doubts about Hughes's existence after a faked portrait leads to tragic consequences. As Erskine's belief is tested, the tale weaves themes of obsession, artistic interpretation, and the elusive nature of truth, culminating in a haunting conclusion.
