A review by bellaa
Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell

challenging emotional reflective sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.5

it didn't give me that five star feeling
once again reinforcing that I have no specific taste, highly recommend this if you are ok with child death and absolutely no plot  
I wish I could upload pictures so y'all could see the way I absolutely sobbed at
the description of his father coming upon the scene of his death, seeing Judith alive and being so happy, then realizing who was missing
. as my mom said, "you need some happy"
my happy is not having to read the words "william shakespeare" throughout this entire book
