Descrizione
Além de retratar a figura de Shakespeare como um homem marcado pela tragédia, a obra também dá voz a Anne, que enfrenta a dor e a solidão após a morte de Hamnet. Sua força e resiliência são elementos centrais que sustentam a trama, mostrando como o amor pode transformar um sofrimento profundo em inspiração. A narrativa é entrelaçada por referências à obra de Shakespeare, moldando uma conexão entre vida e arte.
Com uma prosa lírica e evocativa, o romance conquista o leitor ao apresentar uma visão íntima do impacto da perda e da maneira como ela reverbera através das gerações. A capacidade de O'Farrell em tecer passado e presente provoca uma reflexão sobre o legado deixado pela tragédia, criando uma obra que é tanto uma homenagem ao gênio teatral quanto um estudo sobre os laços que nos definem.

A beautiful story about family, loss, grief and love. At times the story felt long and boring. Not much happened. I did like how we got a past and present time line in the beginning that gave a good overview of all sides in the story.
I wanted to read this before I see the trailer of the film, then I saw the trailer and thought I better read it, then it shows up on tiktok with all those silly crying people only watching it, probably never read it, kinda skimming it a bit but at least introducing me to the soundtrack by Max Richter. So anyway I hurrird up and read it before tiktok ruined it and the film all the more.I enjoyed the book, enjoyed O'Farrell's style of writing. It is very cinematic and I can't wait to see if the film matches how I imagined it. I tried not to let the clips I had seen influence me too much.Her style didn't really lend you to becoming too close, or too involved in the story or characters. I don't think it matched the emotional depression depicted by all those crying people coming out of the cinema with their "after Hamnet" faces - streaming mascara, panda eyes. I did listen to the soundtrack and honestly that probably helped me cry a little more. I thought that it could have been more - the exploration of grief felt a little too shallow to me but I do not know how spoilt I was by watching the clips on tiktok. Still a beautiful book. Do think I ought to have read more of Hamlet though too begin with to pathways better understand the end.
