On a summer's day in 1596, a young girl in Stratford-upon-Avon takes to her bed with a 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 one of the children will not survive the week.
Up to now I had not ventured into the wonderful world of Maggie O'Farrell....how remiss! This is a beautiful novel, splendidly wrought characters, great tone and pace to the narrative. Imaginatively told; an absolute joy!
