ISBN: 9780735280175.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a summers day in 1596, Judith, a young girl in Stratford-upon-Avon, takes to her bed with a fever. Her twin brother, Hamnet, searches everywhere for help. Why is nobody at home?\n\nTheir mother, Agnes, is over a mile away, in the garden where she grows medicinal herbs. Their father is working in London. Neither parent knows that one of the children will not survive the week.\n\nHamnet \u0026amp; Judith is a novel inspired by the children of a famous playwright. It is a story of the bond between twins, and of a marriage pushed to the brink by grief. It is also the story of a kestrel and its mistress; a flea that boards a ship in Alexandria; and a glovemakers son who flouts convention in pursuit of the woman he loves. Above all, it is a tender and unforgettable reimagining of a boy whose life has been all but forgotten, but whose name was given to one of the most celebrated plays ever written.\n\nA story about the death of a child and the birth of a masterpiece in 16th century England, Hamnet \u0026amp; Judith is mesmerizing, heart-wrenching, impossible to put down--historical fiction at its finest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Knopf Canada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44923630813237,"sku":"ByrdShop_0735280177","price":94.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0735280177_e263c2ef-f11c-44f0-bcb5-bb936fe18d1d.jpg?v=1778788494","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/hamnet-and-judith-9780735280175","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
