A story like no other, told like no other. Hamnet is singular in its lush descriptions, its events and the surprises that unfold. Loved it so much. Isn't that obvious? I read Hamnet this past year, and recall, even many months later, the beauty of the ...more |

added a status update: Hamnet is rich with description. Maggie O'Farrell's novel does it all. And it doesn’t lack in action, intrigue, secrets or the horror of The Plague. For those who love strong writing and over-the-top multi-layered characters with a story which is both familiar (uh, Shakespeare) and unfamilarHamnet is a don’t-miss-it read and a half.
Oh, btw, the name “Hamlet” is never mentioned, not once. |

| Making Connections: 5913. Middle Ageish by Shirley Goldberg | 2 | 13 | Sep 18, 2020 02:14PM |
“I'm a real self-educated kind of guy. I read voraciously. Every book I ever bought, I have. I can't throw it away. It's physically impossible to leave my hand! Some of them are in warehouses. I've got a library that I keep the ones I really really like. I look around my library some nights and I do these terrible things to myself--I count up the books and think, how long I might have to live and think, 'F@#%k, I can't read two-thirds of these books.' It overwhelms me with sadness."
--David Bowie, quoted in the Daily Beast in a 2002 interview with Bob Guccione, Jr.”

“They say you cannot love two people equally at once,” she said. “And perhaps for others that is so. But you and Will—you are not like two ordinary people, two people who might have been jealous of each other, or who would have imagined my love for one of them diminished by my love of the other. You merged your souls when you were both children. I could not have loved Will so much if I had not loved you as well. And I could not love you as I do if I had not loved Will as I did.”

Seneca Lake, Emily Heebner, author is featured here.
While WWII rages, will Meg defy her family and follow her heart?
1944 in rural upstate New York. High school senior Meg lives with her grandparents above a saloon overlooking Seneca Lake. Born during the crash of 1929, Meg was one too many pregnancies for her emotionally fragile mother.
Meg aims to break free from her family's cycle of poverty by attending Cornell University in the fall. Her grandparents hope she'll nab a ring from wealthy Hank Wickham before he deploys for Europe. But Meg finds secret romance with handsome, enigmatic Arthur, a 19-year-old Seneca Indian farm worker who shares life lessons with Meg, telling her stories from Iroquois Indian lore.
Locals look down on "injuns" and resent the fact that Arthur's farm job exempts him from military duty. While the war rages in Europe, Meg and Arthur must fight their own battles at home.Seneca Lake
