Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell
Did not finish book. Stopped at 85%.

I'm just not a historical fiction gal. I couldn't understand what was going on, the multiple POVs were ok but I was unclear on who's view was in focus and it was incredibly wordy. I understand why people love this book and k don't doubt it's beauty, but it's just not for me.
