This book was bought and recommended by my Grandmother and it made me tear up a bit. But more the character Judith, sister of Hamnet and her relationship with the loss of a sibling that felt personal to me. The description of Hamnet craving the snow to rest was heart wrenching and the ghostly and supernatural is this novel created a life and more drama within the grief. I was worried at the start that these magical elements would ruin the novel, but it actually deepened the understanding of the characters and especially in Agnes’ perspective on her husband and and their relationship. The last part though was a bit of a slog, and not sure why the scenes were there - felt like it was covering all content, however a marvellous book nonetheless.
