Hello and Welcome. This page is a collection of 6 quotes from Hamnet book by Maggie O’Farrell that I liked and saved while reading this book. I hope you will like these quotes too.

Quotes on Death
- There is nothing after you die. There is the soil and there is the body and it all comes to nothing.
- Anyone, who describes dying as ‘slipping away’ or ‘peaceful’ has never witnessed it happen. Death is violent, death is a struggle. The body clings to life, as ivy to a wall, and will not easily let go, will not surrender its grip without a fight.
Other Quotes
- What is given may be taken away, at any time. Cruelty and devastation wait for you around corners, inside coffers, behind doors: they can leap out at you at any moment, like a thief or brigand. The trick is never to let down your guard. Never think you are safe.
- Gardens don’t stand still: they are always in flux.
- You see, you cannot change what you are given, cannot bend or alter what is dealt to you.
- Every life has its kernel, its hub, its epicentre, from which everything flows out, to which everything returns.
