Hamnet

I loved this story!
This is a work of fiction about William Shakespeare and Ann Hathaway, their family, and the death of their only son Hamnet who died at 11 yrs of age.
It’s the story of a marriage, and grief....of what life was like in 16th century England in the time of the Black Death plague.
It was a sensual, beautiful and magical story.
The heart of the book is Hamnet’s mother and you feel everything along right with her!

So good Annette! I have the ebook from Overdrive!😊
Annette, I’m reading it now, and it’s beautiful. It’s so visual, too - could see it as a film, or miniseries. Enjoy!
I'm going to try to start this tonight!

Love your enthusiastic review! You liked it more than I did, but it’s still a book I’ll remember fondly. Can’t go wrong with O’Farrell! Her language!

Gorgeous review, Karen! I can't wait to read this one, too, but it will have to wait since I didn't get an ARC!

I didn’t get an ARC either, as soon as I started seeing great reviews for this I hopped on Overdrive and put my request in and on release day our library had many ebooks available so I only had to wait a few days! I think your going to love this one!
