Maggie O'Farrell, 2020
A beautifully written story of life in Renaissance England
centered around family life . This is a
deeply moving novel about the death of Shakespeare’s 11 year old son, Hamnet, a
name interchangeable with Hamlet in 15th century England. It portrays a marriage ravaged by grief and
loss and the re-imagining of a boy whose
name inspired one of
Shakespeare’s most famous plays.
