This lagged a little 3/4 of the way through, but ultimately these characters, the setting and the narration won me over.
Beautiful book, the story of the last woman executed in Iceland is fascinating and well-written, unfortunately however it's very slow, so much so that sometimes I fell asleep while I was reading.
Bel libro, la storia dell'ultima donna giustiziata in Islanda é affascinante e ben scritta, purtroppo peró é lentissima, tanto che a volte mi sono addormentata mentre la leggevo. ...more

I would give this book 4.5 stars if I could.
Beautiful prose, extremely evocative of time and place. The cold brutal weather and the hardships lived by the people of northern Iceland in the 1820s really come to life in this book. Wonderfully developed characters drawn from extensive research of an actual event.
