🌟 Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell

 


Interesting paragraph from NYTimes review:

This novel is at once about the transfiguration of life into art — it is O’Farrell’s extended speculation on how Hamnet’s death might have fueled the creation of one of his father’s greatest plays — and at the same time, it is a master class in how she, herself, does it.

This is a remarkable work of fiction. The last 20 pages are so beautifully written and so powerful.  Highly recommended!
