This week, we have a recommendation from one of our booksellers of Tan Twan Eng’s second novel, ‘The Garden of Evening Mists’:

“Years after her sister perished in a Japanese POW camp, Teoh Yun Ling abandons the life she has built for herself in Kuala Lumpur and ventures to rural Cameron Highlands, where she seeks out a revered gardener—once a member of Emperor Hirohito’s imperial staff—to help her make a garden in memory of her sister. Moving back and forth between the past and the present, Tan Twan Eng’s second novel is a sweeping story of survivor’s guilt and the search for justice and meaning in the wake of life-altering tragedy. Moving and utterly breathtaking.”

From the author of ‘Hamnet’, now a major motion picture, comes a sweeping new novel of one family attempting to recover what has been lost to them. Inspired by the mapping of Ireland in the mid-nineteenth century, ‘Land’ is both a meditation on navigating a legacy of upheaval and loss, and a spellbinding tribute to the landscape of Ireland.

In our Non-Fiction Book of the Month for January, Helen MacEwan brilliantly evaluates Brussels’ role in the creative development of Charlotte and Emily Brontë, just five years before they became bestselling authors. Through letters and diary entries, we are offered a fascinating glimpse into this lost chapter of two iconic writers, breathing vivid new life into 19th-century Europe.

#BooksellerSpotlight✨

This week, we have a bookseller recommendation for Maggie O’Farrell’s historical novel, ‘Hamnet’:

“On a bright summer’s day in 1596, a young girl takes to her bed with a fever. Her brother, Hamnet, searches for help everywhere, but to no avail. Both parents are absent: his father is working in London, and his mother tends to her garden, but a mile away. Soon, he too will fall sick and retire to his bed, where he will die within a week, aged 11. Four years later, his father will write a play entitled ‘Hamlet’.

This is the all but forgotten story of Hamnet, William Shakespeare’s son, and how his death came to inspire one of the greatest plays in literature. It is also a luminous, moving and beautifully rendered portrait of a family reckoning with the loss of a child, a marriage pushed to the brink by despair, and the intangible bond between twins.”

Find copies of ‘Hamnet’ by Maggie O’Farrell at your local Hatchards.

HAMNET, directed by Academy Award winner Chloé Zhao and starring Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal, is in cinemas now.

#Hamnet
On this episode, we were joined by the novelist Maggie O’Farrell to discuss the new film adaptation of her 2020 novel ‘Hamnet’, which she co-wrote with the film’s Oscar-winning director, Chloé Zhao.

Maggie speaks with us about what it means to see a book reimagined for the screen without losing any of its tactility or emotional power, and how the collaborative process expanded rather than narrowed her understanding of the original work. For her, this was not a matter of surrendering her novel to the big screen, but of discovering new ways to open out a story she thought she was finished with.

We also discuss the film’s extraordinary ensemble cast, including Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal, Emily Watson, Joe Alwyn, and Jacobi Jupe; how the film’s director created a visual language to frame the historical experience as something rooted in the present tense; and Maggie’s reflections on the strange prescience of this plague story being originally released in March 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hosted by Ryan Edgington.

In January, our Books of the Month take us from 16th-century England, where Maggie O’Farrell delves into the story behind William Shakespeare’s most famous play, to a lost chapter in the lives of the Brontë sisters.

Mildred Lathbury is one of those excellent women who are often taken for granted. As a clergyman’s daughter, she is capable of dealing with the great moments of life: birth, marriage, death, a jumble sale, a garden fête spoilt by bad weather. But as she becomes embroiled in the lives of her new neighbours, anthropologist Helen Napier and her dashing husband Rockingham – for whom Mildred has rather a soft spot – she wonders if there are some problems that even tea cannot solve.

A wry, insightful and beautifully observed portrait of postwar London, ‘Excellent Women’ by Barbara Pym is the eighteenth volume in The Hatchards Library 📚
