Hamnet
by Maggie O’Farrell, 2020. Biographical fiction/historical fiction.
A fictional account of Shakespeare’s son, Hamnet, who died at age 11 in 1596. “A story of the bond between twins, and of a marriage pushed to the brink by grief. It is also about a kestrel and its mistress; a flea that boards a ship in Alexandria; and a glovemaker’s son who flouts convention in pursuit of the woman he loves. Above all, Hamnet is a reimagining of a boy whose life has been all but forgotten, but whose name was given to one of the most celebrated plays ever written.”—Maggie O’Farrell
