ABOUT THE BOOK
A brilliant literary debut, inspired by a true story: the final days of a young woman accused of murder in Iceland in 1829.
Set against Iceland's stark landscape, Hannah Kent brings to vivid life the story of Agnes, who, charged with the brutal murder of her former master, is sent to an isolated farm to await execution.
Horrified at the prospect of housing a convicted murderer, the family at first avoids Agnes. Only Tóti, a priest Agnes has mysteriously chosen to be her spiritual guardian, seeks to understand her. But as Agnes's death looms, the farmer's wife and their daughters learn there is another side to the sensational story they've heard.
Riveting and rich with lyricism, BURIAL RITES evokes a dramatic existence in a distant time and place, and asks the question, how can one woman hope to endure when her life depends upon the stories told by others?
What a shame. Found this channel today, ad see there has been no content for years.
Enjoyed Hannah Kent's (Burial Rites) interview.
What a delightful young woman. One can only wish her much success....
And she has it 😉
I just finished the book and I looked for Hannah’s interview and I came across to a very interesting person. I loved the narrative of the book and this interview that helped me understand the conditions of creation of this wonderful piece of art
Is the interviewer, Perez Hilton (real name Mario}? I’ve been fascinated with him since he became a gossip journalist. His work in that arena coupled with his chosen pseudo name made him rich and famous, but probably did not give his journalistic genius the respect he deserved. Here in this interview, he definitely highlighted that he can hold a candle in the literary world! He is a graduate of NYU!
She's so wonderful
Sauðárkrókur is so cute though in the summer.
fantastisch boek en indrukwekkend verhaal in IJsland.
That's my girl!
