Hamnet: a novel of the plague

 

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.
