Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell
Hamnet, a historical fiction about Shakespeare’s son, but in reality a book about mostly about Agnes, his wife. I found it a strange book, with almost dreamlike prose, and had trouble really getting into it.
I prefer more concrete narratives, and in general despise any touch of the supernatural, of which there is quite a bit of in this book. I really enjoyed O’Farrell’s “The Marriage Portrait”, so I was dismayed to find that Hamnet just didn’t hold my attention in the same way.
However, the last paragraphs, the last sentence, those last two words?! I got all goose bumpy in a good way! ★★★☆☆
