Based on Maggie O'Farrell's enduring interest in the obscure backstory of Shakespeare's most perplexing play, Hamnet presents a brilliant portrayal of a marriage, with the death of a cherished child serving as its central theme.
Warwickshire, around 1580. Because of her remarkable abilities, Agnes is a lady who is both feared and sought after. She moves to Henley Street, Stratford, with her spouse, and the three of them are twins, Judith and Hamnet, and a daughter named Susanna. The eleven-year-old kid, Hamnet, passes away in 1596. A play named Hamlet is written by the spouse around four years later.
The latest book by award-winning novelist Maggie O'Farrell gives the tale of a death that is often relegated to literary footnotes a vibrant new life and offers a vivid defence of Agnes, a fascinatingly missing lady from history.
