Adult Book Discussion: Hamnet
Join us at the Harold Washington Library Center on the third Saturday of each month from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. for a fiction book discussion for adults.
On Saturday, August 15, we'll discuss the novel, Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell.
"A young Latin tutor in 1580s England falls in love with Agnes, an extraordinary healer known for her eccentricity and fierce independence. As they build a life together in Stratford, her husband’s writing talent awakens just as their beloved son Hamnet dies of the plague. This deeply moving novel portrays a marriage shaped by love and grief and imagines the origins of one of Shakespeare’s greatest works."--Publisher's Marketing
Copies of this month's selection will be available prior to the event at the 7th floor Literature and Language reference desk.
