Product description

Two extraordinary people. 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. Review Stunning. The writing is exquisite, immersive and compelling... deserves to win prizes -- Marian Keyes The story of Hamnet Shakespeare has been waiting in the shadows for over four hundred years. Maggie O'Farrell brings it dazzlingly, devastatingly, into the light -- Kamila Shamsie Grief and loss so finely written I could hardly bear to read it -- Sarah Moss Heartstopping. Hamnet does for the Shakespeare story what Jean Rhys did for Jane Eyre, inhabiting, enlarging and enriching it in ways that will alter the reader's view for ever -- Patrick Gale Blisteringly brilliant... You'll lap up this intricately told story of grief, love and the bond between twins - Cosmopolitan [A] rich imagining of the lives of Shakespeare's family enchants... O'Farrell's remarkable novel bursts with life -Sunday Telegraph A beautiful read. A devastating one. Intricate, and breathtakingly imaginative- Rachel Joyce A bold undertaking. Beautifully imagined and written- Claire Tomalin Richly sensuous...something special -Sunday Times The novel of her career... everyone I know who has managed to get hold of a copy is absolutely in love with it -Observer A staggeringly beautiful and unbearably poignant novel. O'Farrell is one of the most surprisingly quiet radicals in fiction-Scotsman WINNER: WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION WINNER: FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR, BRITISH BOOK AWARDS WINNER: BOOKS ARE MY BAG READER'S CHOICE AWARD AS FEATURED ON BBC2'S BETWEEN THE COVERS SHORTLISTED: AN POST IRISH NOVEL OF THE YEAR, WALTER SCOTT PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL FICTION

About Restorio.eu

We give things a new story. We sell and buy books, Lego sets, board games and PC games. In the beginning, it was the wish of two enthusiasts to improve the functioning of second-hand bookstores and be beneficial to the world. Today, we create a huge community of conscious people who are looking for a sustainable shopping choice from a financial and environmental perspective. And with them, with you, we write new stories of things that would otherwise remain forgotten. We will send you the money for everything you sell to us immediately. With us, you don't wait for the books to sell. We will do what we say. We believe that even the smallest details are of great importance, so we think through every aspect of our business, from the way we buy books, through packaging materials to communication with each of you. We have designed our Restocks loyalty program of shopping credits to reward you for every support you give.
