Event Details

"Bold, beautiful, heartbreaking...grief so finely written I could hardly bear to read it...Of all the stories that argue and speculate about Shakespeare’s life, about whether he even wrote his own plays, here is a novel that matches him with a woman overwhelmingly more than worthy."  Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, Hamnet, by author Maggie O'Farrell, is a speculative novel about William Shakespeare and his family, a magnificently written tale of love, marriage, and the ravages of grief.  We're teaming up with the Albany Guardian Society to discuss this book over Zoom.
