pickFinally finished Burial Rites. An excellent and heartbreaking story. Highly recommend. Glad I joined in with the reading, even if I was a little late due to losing the book for a couple weeks.
ETA: I didn‘t notice the print in the corner while creating this on Canva. 2023 has nothing to do with the book. 😆

Probably overreaching,but I am on track with several of the buddyreads. I go back to work 8/24 which obviously will hugely impact my reading time.

pickThis book wrecked me. It was such a devastating and unforgettable story. The ending just about broke my heart. 💔 This was very well-written with lots of character development and historical detail. I highly recommend the audiobook. 5/5⭐️

Hannah Kent calls her novel a ‘dark love letter to Iceland‘ in her Acknowledgements. What does she mean by this? Did you read the novel in this way? ~from publisher reading group guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
6. Death is a major theme in this novel, but it is also about life and living. When
Agnes faces the day of her execution all she wants to do is live, despite the harrowing nature of the life she has endured. Do you agree/disagree? ~from publisher reading group guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
5. Blöndal is the real villain of this piece. His dispassionate communications with
those whom he controls are filled with venom and spite. What did you make of his
decision to lodge Agnes with District Officer Jón and his family? What do you believe
happened at Stóra-‐Borg that caused Blöndal to move Agnes to Kornsá? ~from publisher reading group guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
4. Are Steina, Lauga and Margrét changed by Agnes‘s time with them? Has her
fate changed theirs in any way? ~from publisher reading group guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
