A condemned woman is forced to work alongside a deeply mistrustful family whilst she awaits execution in this bravura period novel about the shapeshifting nature of truth set in early nineteenth-century Iceland.
Based on actual events, Burial Rites by Hannah Kent is a haunting work of historical fiction, following the final days of a young woman accused of murder in 19th-century Iceland.
Northern Iceland, 1829.
A woman condemned to death for murdering her lover.
A family forced to take her in.
A priest tasked with absolving her.
But all is not as it seems, and time is running out: winter is coming, and with it the execution date.
Only she can know the truth. This is Agnes's story . . .
