Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell

Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell

In 1596 a boy called Hamnet died in Stratford at the age of eleven. Four years later his father wrote a play with almost exactly that name. O'Farrell's novel is about the household he left behind, and his father is never once named in it.

The centre of the book is Agnes — Anne Hathaway, reimagined as a herbalist who knows things she cannot explain — and the long chapter tracing a single flea from Alexandria to Warwickshire is one of the most extraordinary pieces of writing in recent fiction. The last thirty pages are almost unbearable.

Winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
