  5. Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet: A Review

    Which led me to Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet, published last year to universal acclaim and named one of 2020's five best works of fiction by the New York Times Book Review.

  8. HAMNET

    National Book Critics Circle Winner. Imagining the life of the family Shakespeare left behind in Stratford makes an intriguing change of pace for a veteran storyteller. While O'Farrell eschews the sort of buried-secrets plots that drive the propulsive narratives of such previous novels as Instructions for a Heatwave (2013), her gifts for full ...

  10. Not the Booker: Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell

  11. Review: 'Hamnet' reimagines Shakespeare's little-known ...

    The historical novel takes place in Stratford-upon-Avon mostly in 1596, the year that Shakespeare's son, Hamnet, died at age 11. Perhaps surprisingly, its story doesn't focus on the famous bard — who is unceremoniously referred to as "the father," "the Latin tutor" or "her husband" throughout the book — nor his work.

  16. All Book Marks reviews for Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell

    Hamnet is, above all, a profound study of loss ... At her best, O'Farrell is simply outstanding. Within pages, she can inhabit the mind of an owl, of a great playwright, of a dying boy, of those watching him. It seems she can pretty much do anything on the page that she puts her mind to.

    Hamnet. Hamlet. In late 1500s England, the names were interchangeable. We know "Hamlet," of course, as the title of one of William Shakespeare's most famous plays. Eureka! The Hamnet in this book is Shakespeare's son, a fictitious rendering since little was written about the Bard's personal life. Indeed, neither of the names ...
