Product: Burial Rites
GUARANTEED SAFE CHECKOUT
Against the stark landscape of Iceland, Hannah Kent vividly brings to life the story of Agnes. Charged with the brutal murder of her former master, she is sent to an isolated farm to await execution. Horrified by the idea of harboring a convicted murderer, the family initially keeps their distance from Agnes. Only Toti, a priest chosen by Agnes as her spiritual guardian, seeks to understand her. However, as Agnes's impending death approaches, the farmer's wife and daughters begin to see another side to the sensational tale they had heard.
With gripping storytelling and poetic language, Burial Rites paints a vivid picture of a dramatic existence in a distant time and place. It raises the question: how can a woman endure when her fate hinges on the narratives spun by others?
