To read
Hamnet – winner of the Women’s Prize for Fiction, 2020 – is to learn the language of grief. It is to comprehend an insistent syntax, a repetitive rhythm that turns sentences into elegies. The minutest detail – the creaking of beams, lines of apples on shelves, skins stretched out in a glove workshop – has a specific texture, a shape, a smell that is examined to create a genealogy of remembrance.
