WINNER OF THE 2020 WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION - THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER
2021 'Richly sensuous... something special' The Sunday Times 'A
thing of shimmering wonder' David Mitchell TWO EXTRAORDINARY
PEOPLE. A LOVE THAT DRAWS THEM TOGETHER. A LOSS THAT THREATENS TO
TEAR THEM APART. On a summer's day in 1596, a young girl in
Stratford-upon-Avon takes to her bed with a sudden fever. Her twin
brother, Hamnet, searches everywhere for help. Why is nobody at
home? Their mother, Agnes, is over a mile away, in the garden where
she grows medicinal herbs. Their father is working in London.
Neither parent knows that Hamnet will not survive the week. Hamnet
is a novel inspired by the son of a famous playwright: a boy whose
life has been all but forgotten, but whose name was given to one of
the most celebrated plays ever written.
