Episode Synopsis

Jeff and Rebecca get into Maggie O'Farrell's best-selling, critically-acclaimed, and now feature film, Hamnet. How does a book loosely based on the life of William Shakespeare not even use the name once? It's a deft, moving, and complicated novel--and makes for terrific discussion.
