Hamnet

by Maggie O'Farrell
Hamnet - Thryft
Hamnet - Thryft

Heart-wrenching story of love and loss.

"Hamnet" is a beautifully haunting tale of a family's grief and a vibrant reimagining of the life of William Shakespeare's son. The story is told with vivid, sensual language that draws the reader into the inner world of the characters. The bond between the twins and their mother is especially moving, and the novel is a tribute to the enduring power of love in the face of tragedy.

Description

A New York Times Notable Book (2020)Best Book of 2020: Guardian, Financial Times, Literary Hub, and NPRDrawing on Maggie O'Farrell's long-term fascination with the little-known story behind Shakespeare's most enigmatic play, HAMNET is a luminous portrait of a marriage, at its heart the loss of a beloved child. Warwickshire in the 1580s. Agnes is a woman as feared as she is sought after for her unusual gifts. She settles with her husband in Henley street, Stratford, and has three children: a daughter, Susanna, and then twins, Hamnet and Judith. The boy, Hamnet, dies in 1596, aged eleven. Four years or so later, the husband writes a play called Hamlet. Award-winning author Maggie O'Farrell's new novel breathes full-blooded life into the story of a loss usually consigned to literary footnotes, and provides an unforgettable vindication of Agnes, a woman intriguingly absent from history.
