A very beautifully written book with lovely characters.
It was however very day and the second part was all about loss and the misery that brings.
Also, Shakespeare is portrayed as a good person but a few comments about their sex is a little uncomfortable.

Graphic: Death, Child death, and Child abuse
Moderate: Animal cruelty
It is very sad - the book is about the death of Hamnet, and although it looks at everything with beautiful writing, it doesn’t escape the fact most of the book is about mourning and loss of a family memeber.
