Afternoon Book Discussion at the Macedonia City Center

"Hamnet" by Maggie O'Farrell

Join this lively book discussion group—because talking about books is almost as much fun as reading them! This month, we'll be reading and discussing "Hamnet" by Maggie O'Farrell.

During the Nordonia Hills Branch Library closure and renovation, Afternoon Book Discussion will be will be held in the Community Room of the Macedonia City Center (9691 Valley View Rd, Macedonia, 44056). The Community Room is located on the ground floor.

Books will be available at the Richfield Branch Library one month before the meeting.

"Hamnet" by Maggie O'Farrell

"What it is: the moving, character-driven story of William Shakespeare's wife and children, during and after the watershed moment when his only son, 11 year-old Hamnet, dies of bubonic plague. Read it for: the lush and atmospheric writing; the focus on the complex and engaging portrayals of Shakespeare's increasingly independent family members, with the Bard himself taking a backseat as he spends more time in London than their home in Stratford-upon-Avon." - NoveList Plus
