In northern Iceland 1829 Agnes Magnusdottir is condemned to death for her part in the brutal murder of two men. Agnes is sent to wait on the farm of District Officer Jon Jonsson and his family who are horrified and avoid Agnes. Only Toti the young assistant reverend appointed as Agnes's spiritual guardian is compelled to try to understand her. As the summer months fall away to winter Agnes's story begins to emerge. And as the days to her execution draw closer the question burns: did she or didn't she? Based on a true story Burial Rites is a deeply moving novel about freedom and the ways we will risk everything for love. In beautiful cut-glass prose Hannah Kent portrays Iceland's formidable landscape and asks: how can one woman endure when her life depends upon the stories told by others?
