About the event
"Hamnet" By Maggie O’Farrell
A LOVE THAT DRAWS THEM TOGETHER. A LOSS THAT THREATENS TO TEAR THEM
APART. 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 is a novel inspired by the son of a famous playwright: a boy whose life has
been all but forgotten, but whose name was given to one of the most celebrated plays ever
written.
