A review by syubeebee
Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell

challenging emotional inspiring sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

loved this book, well written, profound, beautiful imagery, lovely characters, good pace
I was on a train to Odawara when i reached the end of the first part, and Sweet nothing by Taylor Swift started playing, damn I cried hard
memorable book, especially if you're a Shakespeare enjoyer and have read hamlet
a very, very solid 5 stars
lots of talks about births and deaths
