Hamnet

“Every life has its kernel, its hub, its epicentre, from which everything flows out, to which everything returns.” Hamnet is a lyrical, intimate reimagining of a family tragedy that echoes through history. Set in Elizabethan England, it follows Agnes - a woman of fierce intelligence and intuition - and the quiet devastation that follows the death of her young son, Hamnet. 📖 Read this if you like: lyrical historical fiction, grief and motherhood, Shakespeare's world, The Marriage Portrait, or novels that break your heart beautifully.
