Modern Day Tempest Book Review

I am a Margaret Atwood fan.  She speaks to me.  I follow her twitter feed and read her books.  This has been occurring for a long time before The Handmade's Tale became a Hulu sensation.  Now I hear her 1996 novel Alias Grace will appear as a mini series on Netflix. This is a book I read when it first came out over 20 years ago.  I will be interested in an interpretation of that book also.  https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/alias-grace-filming-begins-netflix-cbc-miniseries/

When I saw the cover of the book Hag-Seed, I had no idea of the definition of the title.  By definition, a hag-seed is an offspring of a witch or hag, possibly making the offspring cursed.  The book is set in modern times and is written as part of the Hogarth Shakespeare Series, reinventing Shakespeare's play, The Tempest.

The storyline centers around revenge and retribution and takes place in a prison with the inmates putting on a play that mimics the life of the director.  This is a short novel that is a delightful read for young adult as well as a seasoned reader.
