Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell

5.0

A heart-wrenching and beautiful story of love, loss and family. The author’s prose is unlike any other I have read as she seamlessly seesaws back and forth between a past and present narrative centering around Shakespeare’s wife and son. The fact that it is not meant to be taken as entirely historically accurate does not detract at all from the story, the characters will easily endearing themselves to you and the story will touch your heart.
