Burial Rites

Om boken

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.
