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)
