Thank you for your recommendation about Maggie O’Farrell’s Hamnet. I would have been unlikely to have read it otherwise. It was good to bump into Richard Shakespeare again a few times in the tale, as well! With so much unknown about those lives, despite their fame, it’s certainly a fertile field for speculation. Are you tempted to revisit it? Looking forward to meeting Sharpe once more in the autumn and wherever you go after that.
