So, How's the Hamnet Adaptation?
All the (More!) Books! is on a short holiday break and figured you might be too doing such things as going to the movies. Well, if seeing Hamnet is on your list, we thought you'd enjoy this recent Book Riot Podcast episode in which Rebecca sits down with Vanessa Diaz to discuss the adaptation of Hamnet, in wide theatrical release this week. They talk about the film as a standalone piece of art, how it works as an adaptation, the key differences between the book and the movie, and how to tell if it's for you.
