Nerina LunaMcEwan’s Nutshell is more than a retelling of Hamlet, it’s a 21st-century tragedy.
An unborn child narrates betrayal, fear, love, complicity, and unbearable awareness.
We admire him more than we pity him.
Perhaps empathy is reserved for those who remain silent.
This is Hamlet, reimagined, and the tragedy of being born into a broken world has never been told more brilliantly.

Nutshell
**Sunday Times Number One Bestseller** A classic tale of murder and deceit from one of the world's best storytellers - 'a masterpiece' The Times Trudy has betrayed her husband, John. She's still in the marital home - a dilapidated, priceless London townhouse - but not with John. Instead, she's with his brother, the profoundly banal Claude, and the two of them have a plan. But there is a witness to their plot: the inquisitive, nine-month-old resident of Trudy's womb. 'An astonishing act of literary ventriloquism unlike any in recent literature. A bravura performance, it is the finest recent work from a true master...' Daily Telegraph
