ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Hamnet” by Maggie O'Farrell is a poignant and evocative novel that imagines the life of William Shakespeare’s family, focusing on the loss of his young son, Hamnet, and its profound impact on his wife, Agnes, and their children. Set in 16th-century England, the story explores themes of love, grief, family bonds, and the fragility of life. Through Agnes's healing abilities and the intense emotional struggle of the family, O'Farrell delves into the universal experience of loss and the ways in which art, memory, and resilience help to navigate such profound sorrow. The novel intricately blends the personal with the historical.
