When a Name Becomes a Ghost
What if the greatest play ever written was born from a father's unbearable grief? In 1596, an eleven-year-old boy named Hamnet died in Stratford-upon-Avon. Four years later, his father-a playwright we know as William Shakespeare-wrote *Hamlet*. Maggie O'Farrell's stunning novel bridges this gap, transforming a historical footnote into an intimate portrait of love, loss, and the alchemy of art. Winner of the 2020 Women's Prize for Fiction and praised by *The Guardian* for its "exceptional emotional force," the book has captivated readers from Natalie Portman to everyday people seeking meaning in grief. O'Farrell never names Shakespeare directly, instead calling him simply "the Latin tutor" or "the husband," shifting our focus from the famous playwright to the family who shaped him. This isn't a story about genius-it's about what happens when ordinary people face extraordinary loss, and how art can transform private anguish into something eternal.
