This was an enjoyable and fast paced read. This book made me really intrigued about the real Agnes and about Icelandic culture and sagas. I enjoyed this book and it's exploration of historical fiction but also the subjective nature of truth. I invested in the characters and I found Agnes's character multi layered and intriguing. Even unlikeable characters were presented with a depth that I really enjoyed. I will certainly read Hannah Kent's other book and Hannah Kent can certainly write. I would recommend this book to any fans of historical fiction or those who enjoy reading about Icelandic culture and it's bitter landscape!
