February 21, 2023 [View Online]( Good morning! Every once in a while, something that blows up online (by going viral, not actually exploding) surprises me by actually living up to the hype.

Lucky for me, you donât really need to know anything about Shakespeare in order to understand and enjoy this novel. Despite all that historians donât know about the Bard and his life, OâFarrell built her story around two known facts: that his young son Hamnet died at the age of eleven, and that Shakespeare wrote his tragedy Hamlet shortly afterward. Using her considerable skill and talent, Maggie O'Farrell managed to use these facts to write a beautiful, if heart-wrenching, story. (I may have gone through most of a box of Kleenex while reading it.) At the heart of it all is Shakespeareâs wife Agnes, who struggles to carry the weight of her grief after the loss of their only son. I felt the coupleâs deep love for Hamnet keenly throughout the story, and at times felt as though I was also mourning the loss of that sweet boy. Hamnet takes you right to the heart of what really matters in life, and if youâre anything like me, itâs a journey that will change the way you look at your own life and the people you hold dear.
