This is a book I’ve wanted to write for a very long time. I first heard about the existence of Hamnet, the boy, when I was studying the play ‘Hamlet’ at school for my Higher English exam. My teacher mentioned in passing that Shakespeare had a son called Hamnet who died several years before the play was written.
I was immediately struck by the echo of these names. What did it mean for a father to call a play after his dead son?

| I enjoyed this, but it’s LOOONG. The story is epic, with a number of wonderfully named characters - Reverend Mother, Parvati the Witch - which add to the rich and darkly comic reflection on the birth of the nation. What really made me love this, thou ...more | |
