Join us in person at the library (in the Margaret Knoll Gardner Lecture Room) for a lively discussion of Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell.
Fiction. A novel about the death of Shakespeare’s 11-year-old son Hamnet–a name interchangeable with Hamlet in 15th century Britain–and the years leading up to the production of his great play.
“Maggie O’Farrell’s ability to construct a palpably real emotional life for all the members of the Shakespeare family—but especially for Shakespeare’s wife—is just magical. This is a powerful and haunting novel.” — IndieNext
