520    "A thrilling departure: a short, piercing, deeply moving 
       novel about the death of Shakespeare's 11 year old son 
       Hamnet--a name interchangeable with Hamlet in 15th century
       Britain--and the years leading up to the production of his
       great play. England, 1580. A young Latin tutor--penniless,
       bullied by a violent father--falls in love with an 
       extraordinary, eccentric young woman--a wild creature who 
       walks her family's estate with a falcon on her shoulder 
       and is known throughout the countryside for her unusual 
       gifts as a healer. Agnes understands plants and potions 
       better than she does people, but once she settles with her
       husband on Henley Street in Stratford she becomes a 
       fiercely protective mother and a steadfast, centrifugal 
       force in the life of her young husband, whose gifts as a 
       writer are just beginning to awaken when his beloved young
       son succumbs to bubonic plague. A luminous portrait of a 
       marriage, a shattering evocation of a family ravaged by 
       grief and loss, and a hypnotic recreation of the story 
       that inspired one of the greatest masterpieces of all time,
       Hamnet is mesmerizing, seductive, impossible to put down--
       a magnificent departure from one of our most gifted 
       novelists"--|cProvided by publisher.
