For 2021, the INLNA Reads selection is the novel Burial Rites written by Hannah Kent. The book is inspired by the true crime story of Agnes Magnusdottir, the last woman to be publically beheaded in Iceland. Set in the early 19th century on an isolated farm in Northern Iceland, we meet Agnes when she is sent to await execution for the murder of her former master. Find out more here!
