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.
