Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It is not often that I run across a book like this, one that makes me pause, one that makes me reflect. I didn’t know what to expect after hearing all the buzz, but Hamnet is a masterpiece. From the opening page, you are drawn in, to the characters, to the landscape, to the story, it is breathtaking. Maggie O’Farrell has crafted a story of a mother’s tragedy so poignant and beautiful, it is hard to look away from the page. What makes this such a fascinating read, is that it’s new and fresh, I can’t recall reading a book that is part fiction, but part biography. It has made me fall in love with Shakespeare all over again.Hamnet
