Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell

5.0

Heartbreakingly beautiful. Now I've been to dramaschool, did a whole course on Shakespeare and love reading anything about him/his family, fiction or not.

This was not only beautiful and sad (I was close to tears honestly), but also... in a strange way kind of confronting to read in the Covid days we live in. How desease can spread fast and the effect it can have on families...

All in all, I highly recommend this book. 100% understand why this was Waterstones book of 2020 ❤
