A brilliant literary debut, inspired by a genuine story: the ultimate days of a young woman accused of murder in Iceland in 1829. Established against Iceland's stark scenery, Hannah Kent brings to brilliant life the storyline of Agnes, who, incurred with the brutal murder of her ex - master, is delivered to an isolated plantation to await execution. Horrified at the prospect of housing a convicted murderer, the family initially avoids Agnes. Only Tóti, a priest Agnes has mysteriously chosen to be her spiritual guardian, seeks to understand her. But as Agnes's loss of life looms, the farmer's better half and their daughters learn there may be another aspect to the sensational tale they've heard. Riveting and rich with lyricism, Burial Rites evokes a dramatic lifestyle in a distant time and place, and asks the question, how can one woman hope to experience when her life will depend on upon the reports advised by others?
