"Hamnet" was published under the title "Hamnet and Judith" in the U.K.

You also may want to check out a movie called "All Is True" with Kenneth Branagh & Judy Dench. It has some of the same elements-- Will Shakespeare comes home after being gone running his theater in London, writing & putting on plays, to basically a family that he has barely seen in years. His wife, Anne and their remaining children, Susannah & Judith (twin & sister to Hamnet, now deceased) do their best to adjust again to having him home, but long-neglected family issues surface. Anyway, it explores a little-known side story with a real interesting treatment. explores

Hamnet and Judith appears to be the title used by Penguin Random House in Canada. It is quite common for publishers to change titles in different areas. It appears it is the same book, although in the UK it is only referred to as Hamnet.

I think so. In Italy it is " Nel nome del figlio-Hamnet", which means "In the name of the son-Hamnet"
Claire
Yes, it's the same book.
