Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell
from Reality Raincheck
In Maggie O'Farrell's novel, Hamnet, we are transported to the life of Agnes (Anne) Shakespeare. Though little is known historically about Shakespeares life, so much can be gleaned from what is known. O'Farrell has captured beautifully the grief that comes from loving and then losing a child. This book will at once make you weep, and look freshly upon the playwright that we know as William Shakespeare. Come along for our book club chat!
