Hamnet is a hauntingly beautiful reimagining of a quiet historical footnote: the death of William Shakespeare's only son. Through Maggie O'Farrell's luminous prose, his story, and the story of his mother Agnes Hathaway, becomes an intimate tale of love, loss, and the invisible threads that bind life to art. A profoundly moving novel, Hamnet asks: how do we live after the unimaginable? And what does it mean to remember?
