Hamnet [B0089]

2020 HCDJ. National Book Critics Circle Award. The bestselling author of The Marriage Portrait delivers a luminous portrait of a marriage, a family ravaged by grief, and a boy whose name was given to one of the most celebrated plays of all time. "Of all the stories that argue and speculate about Shakespeare's life, here is a novel so gorgeously written that it transports you." -The Boston Globe.

From Amazon reviews: "I was very surprised at how enjoyable this book was. The rich descriptions drew me in and the story was unique and interesting. Depth of emotions pull your heart. I fully recommend and I may even read it again!"; "This was a very different read from what I normally read. I wouldn't like a steady diet of this type of descriptive prose, but it was refreshing for a change. The story seems to be loosely based on what is known of Shakespeare's life. I enjoyed reading it."; "The writer should be so proud of herself for how well she was able to convey beautiful scenes, real emotions, and mix real life with imagination and creativity. Absolutely recommend. "
