Vinegar Girl (2012)

By Anne Tyler

Vinegar Girl is a 2016 novel by American author Anne Tyler. It is the third book of Random House's Hogarth Shakespeare project, in which contemporary novelists retell stories from Shakespeare's plays. Interviewed by Ron Charles in The Washington Post, Tyler said " 'The Katherina in Shakespeare’s play is insane... She’s shrieking at Petruchio from the moment she meets him. And he’s not much better. So you know I had to tone them down. I’m sure that somebody is out there, saying, ‘This isn’t a shrew at all.’ "
