A stunning new departure for Maggie O'Farrell's fiction, HAMNET is the heart-stopping story behind Shakespeare's most famous play.On a summer's day in 1596, a young girl in Stratford-upon-Avon takes to her bed with a 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 one of the children will not survive the week.Hamnet is a novel inspired by the son of a famous playwright. It is a story of the bond between twins, and of a marriage pushed to the brink by grief.

Nous nous approchâmes de la valise. Elle était ficelée par une grosse corde de paille tressée, nouée en croix. Nous la débarrassâmes de ses liens, et l'ouvrîmes silencieusement. A l'intérieur, des piles de livres s'illuminèrent sous notre torche électrique, les grands écrivains occidentaux nous accueillirent à bras ouverts: à leur tête, se tenait notre vieil ami Balzac, avec cinq ou six romans, suivi de Victor Hugo, Stendhal, Dumas, Flaubert, Baudelaire, Romain Rolland, Rousseau, Tolstoï, Gogol, Dostoïevski, et quelques Anglais: Dickens, Kipling, Emily Brontë... Quel éblouissement! Il referma la valise et, posant une main dessus, comme un chrétien prêtant serment, il me déclara: avec ces livres, je vais transformer la Petite Tailleuse. Elle ne sera plus jamais une simple montagnarde.

Nella quiete sorniona di un sabato mattina in ufficio, mentre Matera si prepara al rituale dello struscio pomeridiano, una telefonata raggiunge il Sostituto Procuratore Imma Tataranni. 'Pensò immediatamente a Valentina, che doveva essere appena uscita da scuola e in quei giorni stava piantando una grana. Invece le dissero che avevano ucciso un ragazzo, a Nova Siri'. Imma per mestiere ha a che fare abitualmente coi morti ammazzati, ma se a morire è un coetaneo di sua figlia, a poco a poco la madre e il procuratore si scopriranno facce della stessa medaglia che finiranno per confondersi e alimentarsi l'un l'altra. L'indagine del procuratore - con le sue tecniche, le sue dinamiche, le rivalità antiche e nuove - pagina dopo pagina assume infatti i contorni del viaggio di una madre alla scoperta di un mistero più importante e profondo: chi sono i nostri figli, che cosa vogliono, che possibilità hanno di questi tempi? In una comunità chiusa del Mezzogiorno italiano, fra dicerie superficiali e misfatti sepolti dalla terra arsa dal sole, Imma scruta, interroga, immagazzina dati: qualche volta inciampa, come sugli irrinunciabili tacchi alti, qualche volta, proprio come con quelli, riesce a ergere lo sguardo oltre l'apparenza dei fatti.
