Description

Island, 1829. Agnes dømmes til døden for medvirkning til et dobbeltdrap, og blir i påvente av henrettelsen plassert hos en bondefamilie. Fulle av frykt og avsky unngår de henne som best de kan. Den eneste som prøver å bli kjent med henne, er en ung prest som er ute etter å frelse hennes fortapte sjel. Mens sommer glir over i vinter, og elementene tvinger hele husholdningen til å jobbe side om side, begynner Agnes’ fatale historie om lengsel og svik å rulles opp. Og mens dødsdagen kryper stadig nærmere, står ett spørsmål og dirrer: Gjorde hun det, eller ikke? Begravelsesriter er en sterk og gripende roman. I et vakkert, krystallklart språk skildres Islands dramatiske natur, hvor hver dag er en kamp for tilværelsen. Romanen er basert på en sann historie.
