UWS Book Group, Third Edition! HAMNET by Maggie 0’Farrell

O’Farrell’s brilliantly imagined novel is literary fiction with exquisite writing. Set in 1580s Warwickshire, England, it tells the story of William Shakespeare, his wife, Agnes, and their three children. Their only son, Hamnet dies, possibly of the plague, and the novel explores Agnes’ grief, as well as Shakespeare’s, though as a character, he is rarely part of the story.

Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Prize for Fiction
