### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Left me cold, in a brilliant way.
  

*by G***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 December 2017*

Absolutely loved this book. Yes it's dark, yes it's not uplifting or happy or heart-warming. It's about a woman sentenced to death for murder in Iceland.What it is is beautiful, captivating, immersive and intriguing. Kent's writing style pulls you in and holds you there to the point where her description of the wild Icelandic landscape will leave you feeling chilly. Protagonist Agnes is a hard nut to crack, but as her story absorbs you more and more it's easy to forget why she is in the position she's in...Look forward to reading more from this author. A wonderful debut.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Atmospheric novel.
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 April 2018*

An exceptionally atmospheric novel which captures the harsh lifestyle, history, unique landscape and social injustice of Iceland at the time. Mercifully, this is not about the trial (of the last woman to be executed in Iceland), but cleverly weaves factual documents into the well-paced and well-drawn story. While fictionalised, there is great credibility in the way the author tells the tale and she manages that rare thing: to make the reader fully engaged and caring about the heroine. She also has a light, but razor-sharp, touch with her descriptions which took my breath away at times ("the children were as thin as tide marks") and knows how to turn on the emotional scenes.(Going to be made into a film and a tourist tour is being planned around this book.)

    Really disappointed
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 November 2019*

This book was rubbish. I read only about 30 pages. Skimmed through the rest.It's a true story yes, which has been hijacked in some way.I was imagining a full historical account based fully on evidence & research from the past & present. Giving various perspectives from various sources.This book is too fictional in that it fictionalises / imagines the scenes around the (true) events eg it describes what Agnes and other characters were wearing , thinking at the time , and the food, their homes, their appearances - mostly all superfluous to me & so irritating.It seems to go between a 3rd person narrator describing scenes which the author has imagined happening.... and genuine excerpts from the time....and then the author imagining what key characters were thinking & writing in their 'person'..I wanted the real truth based on good research. I wanted to know about Iceland during that time , the wider impact, the (real) views of those involved more wildely. I was not interested in a dramatised version of what may have happened. So gutted. Far too many liberties taken. Had heard great things about this book and have been to the area of the execution in Iceland/ that peninsula.A dumbed down version of a startling true story. I wanted a detached narrator telling the tale not creating her own version. So much embellished detail & so much reality missing.
