Book
Burial rites : a novel / Hannah Kent.
Charged with the brutal murder of two men, Agnes Magnúsdóttir has been removed to her homeland's farthest reaches, to an isolated farm in northern Iceland, to await execution. Horrified at the prospect of housing a convicted murderer, the family on the farm avoids Agnes. Only Tóti, a priest Agnes has chosen to be her spiritual guardian, seeks to understand her. As the winter months pass and Agnes's death looms closer, the farmer's wife and daughters learn there is another side to the sensational tale they've heard. But will their new knowledge be enough to save Agnes?
