This is a fantastic, if fantastical, glimpse of Shakespeare’s life and of death’s gutting cleaving. Maggie O’Farrell’s emotional and sensory descriptions are artfully crafted. Agnes as seer revealed all the characters’ souls. There was a little repetition of emotional thoughts which is something I find irritating as a reader, but ultimately didn’t detract too much, Agnes’ ability to read people created empathy and connection where, in its absence, the story and relationships may be flat or cold. Agnes as herbalist also brought the story “down to earth” and was a genius way to access setting, plot, character. The chronological descriptions of the plague travel were also amazing. The author demonstrates impressive restraint when writing about Shakespeare asking Agnes about the herbs she uses, and in all the possible too on the nose instances that she introduces through a fresh and unobtrusive lens. I was happy to see no mention of Ophelia tying her to the herbs. Her depiction in the scene when she sits with the body and describes the innate, habituated need mothers have to know their children’s’ whereabouts - to protect and account for their children - had me ugly crying. The narrator is also excellent.

This novel should be a point of view, and voice and tone lesson in every writing classroom. So much hope and light. Beautifully written.

An in-depth, entertaining and philosophically supported book about a suicide attempt that is given the space and breadth to examine if and why life is worth living. My only issue is that the editor should have cut repetitive listings of what she’d been through emotionally and her experience. That was tedious, but not a deal breaker. Definitely a worth-while book for anyone re-examining their life.
