SUMMARY:PM Page Turners - Hamnet
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion on Hamnet (2020\, Historical Fiction) 
 by Maggie O'Farrell (372 pages\, 4.19 on Goodreads). This book was a 
 Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Reader's Favorite Historical Fiction 
 (2020). \n\nDrawing on Maggie O'Farrell's long-term fascination with the 
 little-known story behind Shakespeare's most enigmatic play\, Hamnet is a 
 luminous portrait of a marriage\, at its heart the loss of a beloved 
 child.\n\nWarwickshire in the 1580s. Agnes is a woman as feared as she is 
 sought after for her unusual gifts. She settles with her husband in Henley 
 street\, Stratford\, and has three children: a daughter\, Susanna\, and 
 then twins\, Hamnet and Judith. The boy\, Hamnet\, dies in 1596\, aged 
 eleven. Four years or so later\, the husband writes a play called 
 Hamlet.\n\nAward-winning author Maggie O'Farrell's new novel breathes 
 full-blooded life into the story of a loss usually consigned to literary 
 footnotes\, and provides an unforgettable vindication of Agnes\, a woman 
 intriguingly absent from history.\n\nA New York Times Notable Book (2020)\, 
 Best Book of 2020: Guardian\, Financial Times\, Literary Hub\, and 
 NPR.\n\nCopies of the book will be distributed at the previous meeting 
 and\, afterward\, are available by visiting the front desk at either 
 Centerville or Woodbourne Library. The book is available in Regular Print\, 
 Large Print\, eBook\, and eAudiobook. No registration is necessary\, but 
 participants are encouraged to read the book prior to attending the 
 discussion.
