The winners of the free copies of this great book - read more about it HERE - should have received their parcels by now. If you did (or indeed if you won a copy in our giveaway of the hardback edition last year) do please add a question for author Hannah Kent.

Sorry - belated thank you for Burial Rites! I am reading this now and find it very page turning with the characters of Agnes and Toti riveting. Grandee2

Sorry for not posting sooner, but I've just finished Burial Rites. A superb book, told sympathetically but not sentimentalised. Written with maturity well beyond her actual years. I could really feel the chill in my bones when Hannah was describing bad weather. I was sad when the book came to its unfortunate conclusion as the story had really gripped me. What a difficult life these Icelanders lived.
