Synopsis "Hamnet: Read the bestselling book before you see the award winning film"

The no. 1 bestseller that inspired the major film starring Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal

'A thing of shimmering wonder' David Mitchell

A LOVE THAT DRAWS THEM TOGETHER. A LOSS THAT THREATENS TO TEAR THEM APART.

The untold love story that inspired Shakespeare's greatest masterpiece.

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 tells the powerful story of Agnes and Will, and of the son whose life has been all but forgotten, but who inspired one of the greatest plays ever written.

Maggie O’Farrell (1972 in Coleraine, Northern Ireland), grew up in Wales and Scotland after moving with her family at the age of two. At eight years old, she suffered a severe encephalitis that kept her hospitalized and away from school for more than a year, an experience that deeply influenced her life and work. She studied English Literature at Cambridge and worked as a journalist in Hong Kong and London before fully dedicating herself to writing. She currently lives in Edinburgh.

Her work is characterized by the psychological depth of her characters and original narrative. Among her most famous novels are, After You’d Gone (2000), her literary debut, winner of the Betty Trask Award; The Hand That First Held Mine (2010), awarded the Costa Novel Award; and Hamnet (2020), an international bestseller and winner of the Women’s Prize for Fiction and the National Book Critics Circle Award, which fictionalizes the life of William Shakespeare’s family.

Her work has been translated into more than 30 languages and has received numerous international accolades.

El libro es un regalo que mi hija está disfrutando mucho. Lo único malo, y bastante deficiente, fue el tiempo que se demoró en llegar.
