'what is the word for someone who was a twin but is no longer a twin?'
i actually have so many thoughts about this one!!
ive read one of maggie o'farrell's other books before (the marriage portrait) and there are so many thematic similarities
they both feature the swapping of children, whether it be twins or milk sisters, in some tragic twist of fate
the portrayal of agnes' grief and the consequent effect it had on her and william's relationship genuinely had me bawling my eyes out
i just know paul mescal as shakespeare in the upcoming film will emotionally wreck me

Wowza. Dragged a bit at times but otherwise beautifully written and lyrical. Also quite a timely novel!

This was okay, but fell a little flat.
I enjoyed the insights into the plague and the storyline of Shakespeare meeting his wife and her herbal remedies and skills. The rest however felt a bit dull and didn't leave me instantly wishing to pick the book back up.
The half of the book before Hamnet died felt a bit more engaging than the latter half.

The characters are incredibly lifelike, despite there being very little actually known about the real people (Shakespeare's family) upon whom they are based. The shifts back and forth in time are easy to follow, making for a deftly woven story. And the whole thing is terribly sad.
