I promised myself that I would read more of Maggie O’Farrell after reading Hamnet and falling in love with her writing style. Unsurprisingly, I loved this and was so sad when it came to an end. The audiobook performance was phenomenal and I am baffled by the life this woman has lived. So many of the passages have been floating around in my mind since reading them. This might be the first book I buy a physical copy of for the purpose of highlighting and annotating.

O’Farrell’s writing is incomparable in its atmosphere and style. I have found myself profoundly moved by several parts of this book, though others slightly less. It has inspired me to reflect on my own life and how I have treated and considered it throughout, and has bored it’s way into my brain in the days I have been reading it
