It's one of my most favourite reads, Maggie amazingly dedicated this text to those hidden/forgotten members of the Shakespeare family and I really loved the way she portrayed the characters and allowed us to sympathise and become close to each one of them.

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.
