When she was seventeen years old, Hannah Kent travelled to Iceland from Australia. She’d never seen snow before, didn’t speak a word of Icelandic. All she knew was that she wanted to have an experience – to soak up something of the world.
Soon she found herself isolated in a remote part of Iceland in a dark winter. It was a gruelling experience, but she quickly fell in love with the country: with its brutally beautiful landscapes and with its people. On returning home, with images of Iceland’s towering glaciers and windswept tundras in her dreams, Hannah began to write.
Now, as a mother and a wife, she looks back to that extraordinary year in Iceland.
Praise for Burial Rites:
‘Outstanding’ – Madeline Miller ‘Gripping, intriguing and unique’ – Kate Mosse ‘One of the best Scandinavian crime novels I’ve read’ – Independent ‘Remarkable’ – The Sunday Times ‘A must-read’ – Grazia
