When Delia Rose's future is foretold at a carnival, she recognises Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet within the prophecy. Believing the gypsy woman to be a fraud, Delia shrugs off this encounter, until she meets and falls in love with Ben Starre, the son of her father's enemy. Soon other events take place to parallel the Shakespearean play and Delia wonders how much control she really has over her destiny. Can she avoid the tragic end that must be coming for them? Or has their fate already been written? A Rose By Any Other Name is a heart-stopping novel about prophecy and choice that can be read as a stand-alone story with its own unique twists, or as a read-along companion to Romeo and Juliet.
