A high-quality summary of Maggie O'Farrell´s book Hamnet, including chapter details and analysis of the main themes of the original book.

About the original book:

England, 1580: The Black Death spreads over the country, posing a constant threat to the healthy, sick, elderly, and young equally. The end of the world is approaching, yet life continues. A young Latin tutor falls in love with an unusual, quirky young woman despite being impoverished and being harassed by his abusive father. 

Agnes is a wild creature that travels her family's farm with a falcon on her glove and is well-known across the countryside for her extraordinary healing abilities, knowing plants and potions better than people. She becomes a passionately protective mother and a staunch, centrifugal force in the life of her young husband, whose career on the London stage is only getting started when his adored little son succumbs to a severe fever once they have settled on Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon.
