Overview:
Discover three unforgettable novels from Hannah Kent, the internationally bestselling Australian author known for her lyrical, meticulously researched historical fiction. This paperback collection brings together Burial Rites, Devotion and The Good People, transporting readers from icy 19th-century Iceland to rural Ireland and colonial Australia. Each novel is rooted in real events and explores injustice, superstition, faith and enduring love, making this set a superb gift or book club pick.
About the Books:
Burial Rites is Kent's award-winning debut, based on a true story of Agnes Magnúsdóttir, condemned to death for murder in 1829 Iceland and sent to a remote farm to await execution, where a young priest becomes her spiritual guardian. Told in haunting prose, it is a meditation on guilt, redemption and storytelling. The Good People moves to a remote Irish valley in 1825, where grieving widow Nóra cares for her grandson Micheál, who can neither speak nor walk. As whispers spread that he is a changeling bringing misfortune, three women are drawn into a desperate bid to save him, in a rich, unsettling tale of folklore, belief and grief. Devotion, Kent's third novel, follows Hanne and Thea, two young women from a persecuted Old Lutheran community in Prussia who form an inseparable bond before their families emigrate to South Australia aboard a disease-riddled ship. Lyrical and daring, it is a story of love, faith and sacrifice. Together, the three novels showcase Kent's gift for weaving true historical events into intimate, resonant fiction exploring resilience and the human cost of superstition and prejudice.
