内容简介

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. It is also the story of a flea that boards a ship in Alexandria; a kestrel and its mistress; and a glovemaker's son who flouts convention in pursuit of the woman he loves. Above all, it is a tender and unforgettable reimagining of a boy whose life has been all but forgotten, but whose name was given to one of the most celebrated plays ever written.

    最后的防线是,Agnes去看丈夫的Play,很生气所有剧情和Hamnet根本没啥关系。为什么要乱用已去世的儿子的名字。但她看到最后才明白,原来丈夫借用剧本来编造另一个事实,就是他代替儿子死去。所有父母都希望在那一刻能做到的事。太感动了。03-25

    朗读者:Daisy Donovan;四星。好吧,肯定有人想要回答莎翁为什么能成为莎翁的问题,就给他一个醉酒家暴的父亲、一个巫女般的妻子吧。开始听感觉很不舒服,但后来还是被作者细腻的文字和情感所折服(朗读者也很好);而且,其中有真正属于女性的觉悟。01-28
