Burial Rites – Hannah Kent

María read from Hannah Kent’s Burial Rites (Náðarstund) this Christmas. She met Hannah when the author visited Iceland in the autumn for the book’s Icelandic publication. It was a remarkable meeting, as both had spent many hours with Agnes Magnúsdóttir and her story. María played Agnes in the film of the same name and is now working on a play in which Agnes appears.
