Conwy Castle! For some reason one of the stairwells goes up counterclockwise instead of clockwise. Does anyone know why?

Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell

Plague. Shakespeare. Cultural History of the Sixteenth Century.

As someone who has studied and specialised in these things throughout my UG/PG, I was very excited to hear that they were front and centre in Maggie O'Farrell's novel about the family of the Bard.

However, ultimately, I have mixed feelings about the book and the narrative inside. Mainly, I want to have a coffee with O'Farrell and talk to her about her research and her approach to such a famous life. I want to know about the decisions she made; Agnes and her herbalism and 'witchcraft', John and his relationship with his son, and the writer taking on the role of the King Hamlet.

Within the novel, I found the prose to be beautifully written. The use of tense helped with the playful approach to time and lack of linear narrative, and the handling of more 'magical' elements of the novel. However, I often felt a distance from the characters.

Being such a central part of the novel, and it's namesake, I thought Hamnet would play more of a role and be allowed more of a personality. That wasn't the case, and whilst I could suppose that his role of both realised and not could be reflective of the outcome of the novel, it was also sadly a trait that carried over to his sisters too. In fact, the only consistent character was that of Agnes, who was the main voice in the novel.

This didn't make her a well rounded character, however. She was an amalgamation of modern feminist approaches to life, in a way that made her feel false. Her exceptional presence in the community of the novel didn't make her an exceptional character, and I found her a little bit weary.

Whilst I would have like more development on the characters, I still enjoyed the setting of the novel. I struggle with historical novels normally, but this one felt real and like a place where people lived. It didn't feel like a space that was drawing heavily from tropes and the understanding that the past is a distant and untouchable place. The novel felt very much like you could step out of your front door and find this world, from 400 years ago, waiting outside.

I will definitely try and find more Maggie O'Farrell books to read, and I look forward to the upcoming adaptation.

Please excuse the swear, its a guy talking about where he drew inspiration from to make the sandcastle. Usually I'm really happy and proud when Wales gets an anime reference and seeing as I work in Conwy this one would have been very special to me but why did the translation have to say England not Wales? 😭 The Japanese VA did a really good job saying Conwy and I think it was intended to say the UK and the translation got changed to England but still 😭 please don't erase Wales from your inspiration, it's such a wonderful beautiful country with its own history separate from the UK (and England) and props for making a sandcastle that actually looks a bit like the real thing 😂 (I drive past the real thing everyday)
