Hannah Kent was fascinated by Agnes's life story and what happened to her in Iceland during a certain time in her life. She told the story that she felt and that she researched. I enjoyed reading Burial Rites because I sensed a fairness in the author's depiction of these people and a need to let them be heard and remembered. <br /><br />Kimberly Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06701922878244863690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617545316864155046.post-66475157637558028682014-04-13T20:55:03.739-04:002014-04-13T20:55:03.739-04:00Very interesting.

If you had asked before hand, would you be interested in reading an Australian novel about an early 19th century woman executed in rural Iceland, the answer would most likely have been no. Especially for me since I don't believe in capital punishment ever... and especially not for people who did not commit the crime.<br /><br />So what would you say is the key attraction, now you have read the novel? I assume you loved her telling the true story in a series of flashbacks, leading up to the murders and executions. Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
