Maggie O'Farrell Hamnet, Shakespeare and other novels
We welcome the multi-bestselling author and creator of the literary sensation Hamnet, the moving re-telling of the death of Shakespeare's son that won Maggie the Women's Prize for Fiction. She'll be talking about a story steeped in Stratford, how she brought it and her other best-selling novels to life, and why she has been determined to secure a lasting memorial for Hamnet and his twin sister Judith in the town. She'll also be taking about her much anticipated new novel The Marriage Portrait due this Autumn.
