Book Review: Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell

Book reviews, Historical Fiction

Welcome to my blog - I desperately try and review every book I read. I can't promise they're the best written and my scoring system is very odd (nothing's ever worse than a 3.25 or better than a 4.75), but I'm hoping you can still find new books to enjoy!
