Based on a true story this book is atmospheric and heartbreaking. 1829 – Iceland Agnes Magnusdotter is charged, convicted and sentenced to death by hanging. She is temporarily housed with a family on an isolated farm to await execution. A main character in this story is Iceland itself, Hannah Keith in her debut novel transported me directly to that farm house!
Loved it!
