Hamnet

 I finished a book called Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell. This story starts out in 1580's when a woman named Agnes gets married. She has 3 children, Susanna plus her twins Hamnet and Judith. When the twins are 11 years old Judith falls sick with the plague. Hamnet loves his sister and decides to take her place when death comes to get her. The book is about the grief Agnes feels after the death of Hamnet. Years later her husband writes a play about his son. Basically the book is about William Shakespeare's wife. This was an interesting story about olden times.
