Felix is at the top of his game as Artistic Director of the Makeshiweg Theatre Festival. His productions have amazed and confounded. Now he's staging a TEMPEST like no other: not only will it boost his reputation, but it will heal emotional wounds as well. Or that was the plan. Instead, after an act of unforeseen treachery, Felix is living in exile in a backwoods hovel, haunted by memories of his beloved lost daughter, Miranda - and also brewing revenge. After twelve years, his chance finally arrives in the shape of a theatre course at a nearby prison. Here, Felix and his inmate actors will put on his TEMPEST and snare the traitors who destroyed him. It's magic! But will it remake Felix as his enemies fall?

A play within a play, within a play, within... who know? An excellent story, and every bit as accessible to readers unfamiliar with The Tempest (or even Shakespeare himself) as those who know the lines by heart.
Holy shit, this is out of character for her. W...was that a happy ending? In an Atwood novel?
