England, 1580. A young Latin tutor--penniless, bullied by a violent father--falls in love with an extraordinary, eccentric young woman--a wild creature who walks her family's estate with a falcon on her shoulder and is known throughout the countryside for her unusual gifts as a healer. Agnes understands plants and potions better than she does people, but once she settles with her husband on Henley Street in Stratford she becomes a fiercely protective mother and a steadfast, centrifugal force in the life of her young husband, whose gifts as a writer are just beginning to awaken when his beloved young son succumbs to bubonic plague. A luminous portrait of a marriage, a shattering evocation of a family ravaged by grief and loss, and a hypnotic recreation of the story that inspired one of the greatest masterpieces of all time, Hamnet is mesmerizing, seductive, impossible to put down--a magnificent departure from one of our most gifted novelists"--Historical fiction. 600 17 $a Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616. $v Fiction $2 local $0 (local)tlcaut93179441760828 650 0 $a Plague $v Fiction $0 (DLC)sh 85102591 650 0 $a Spouses $v Fiction $0 (DLC)sh 93004932 650 0 $a Creative writing $v Fiction $0 (DLC)sh 85033847 655 7 $a Historical fiction $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographical fiction $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430021619.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9E256716F31211EEA2A0228A4CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
