Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell
4.0
reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

An interpretation of the lives of the Shakespeare family prior to and after the death of William Shakespeare’s 11 year old son Hamnet. Characters were well defined and sympathetic. The setting and subject matter was interesting. The prose was well developed but felt overworked at times.
