So incredibly fascinating and well-written from the jump, but hugely speculative. Beyond a restating of unarguable records and social context, every sentence applied to Will’s character includes a “may” or “might”… which, when it comes to novels like Hamnet, I’m willing to suspend an inch of disbelief since it’s historical fiction, but for this I’m a bit wary but very engrossed at the same time
