A young Latin tutor—penniless, bullied by a violent father—falls in love with an 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 on the Henley Street in Stratford she becomes a fiercely protective mother and a steadfast, centrifugal force in the life of her young husband. His gifts as a writer are just beginning to awaken when their beloved twins, Hamnet and Judith, are afflicted with the bubonic plague, and, devastatingly, one of them succumbs to the illness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA 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 literary masterpieces of all time, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHamnet\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is mesmerizing and seductive, an impossible-to-put-down novel from one of our most gifted writers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRH","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49812144029982,"sku":"9780735280199","price":23.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/3584\/9246\/files\/BNCImageAPI-2025-05-17T092611.979.jpg?v=1747488394","url":"https:\/\/www.cedarcanoebooks.com\/products\/hamnet","provider":"Cedar Canoe Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
