Burial Rites by Hannah Kent

 

I loved this debut book based on the last public execution in Iceland. 

Good points:
Beautifully written and exactingly researched
The details of life in rural 19th century 
Melancholy, atmospheric and haunting 
A book that leaves you thinking even when it has been finished. 

I really really loved this book and read it in two days - I couldn't put it down!
