let me go on

Ophelia uses the words Shakespeare gave her to choose her own fate. Following the inventive, moving novel let me tell you, O goes on to encounter others on a similar journey and explore her fabulous new world. Constrained by the 481 words Ophelia speaks in Hamlet, her story flows from this barely perceptible limitation. It hints at a past that is reluctant to let her go, and the undiscovered powers that govern the present. From the author of Mr. Beethoven (The Goldsmiths Prize 2020 shortlist; The Walter Scott Prize 2021 longlist), The Tomb Guardians (Brilliant and witty - Rowan Williams), and let me tell you, which was made into a song cycle by Hans Abrahamsen ('the greatest classical composition of the 21st century' - The Guardian) See more
