Book Club - Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell

Hi Book Lovers!

Join us for our next book club meeting, where we'll delve into the imagined life of Shakespeare.

A LOVE THAT DRAWS THEM TOGETHER. A LOSS THAT THREATENS TO TEAR THEM APART.

The untold love story that inspired Shakespeare's greatest masterpiece.

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 tells the powerful story of Agnes and Will, and of the son whose life has been all but forgotten, but who inspired one of the greatest plays ever written.

Newbies Encouraged!
Whether you're a long-time attendee or curious about joining a book club for the first time, we'd love to have you! We're a friendly, informal group who just enjoy chatting about books over a drink. Don't be shy - come along and say hello!

What to do:

• Read (or finish reading!) Hamnet before the meetup.
• Come along to The Woodstock Arms on Tuesday 6th January, from 7:30 PM.

Please RSVP so we can get an idea of numbers and know who to look out for.
Looking forward to discussing this engaging book with you all!
