Sometimes I think, “I could write a book.” Then I read a book like Hamnet and it humbles me as I think “I could never tell a story this well.” This book was perfection, the writing - incredible, the story - incredible, the emotions - I felt all of them. The way Maggie O'Farrell captured the grief of losing a child had me SOBBING! During part 2 I had to put the book down because I couldn't read through my tears. Everybody has to read this book once in their lifetime! I'm now on my historical fiction journey.
