Reprint ed. Paperback octavo, very good condition, minor edgewear, pages faintly toned. 338 pp. This novel by Australian writer Hannah Kent is based on a true story about Agnes Magnusdottir, who in 1829, in Iceland, was condemned to death for her part in the brutal murder of two men. Iceland's formidable landscape, where it is a daily battle to survive is well described by the author, who went to Iceland as a teenager on a Rotary exchange program, and learnt about the story of Agnes.
