As soon as I finished this novel I wanted to stop and write the review right away while I still felt the weight of it. It is the story of a woman condemned to be executed for the murder of the man she worked for. Burial Rites takes place in the early 1800s in Iceland. It is a dark story but the historical accuracy is spot on. I really enjoyed the descriptions of the care of the animals, the housekeeping tasks of the women, the descriptions of harvest, and the clear picture it gave of the way every bit of an animal was used at slaughter. This book will stay with me and those that don't read it are missing out. Please click on the author's name and book title above to follow the links to more information.
