I couldn't be more excited about a book review as I am to talk about Maggie O'Farrell's newest book, Hamnet. Published July 2020 this book is the most outstanding fictional take on Shakespear and his life that I have read in years, if not ever. This book is so utterly real and raw, sucking in its reader right into the 15 Hundreds and making them feel every honest emotion, fear, and love of the characters.
NOTE: There are spoilers in this episode though I stop myself before discussing the ending to leave that as a glorious nugget of gold for the reader to experience. If you want to avoid any spoilers, pause this episode and come back once you've read the book.
