Beautiful book with some great descriptions. I loved reading about all the different characters and the way the story built. I like how they never mention William Shakespeare by name, focusing solely on the characters. The twins ❤️

A beautiful story woven of a cast of Shakespeare's family telling of the story around Shakespeare's son, Hamnet's, death and the resulting play named after him.
