Welcome to Litsy!

Fantastic night out with @MrsMalaprop listening to Hannah Kent talk about her new book, a memoir. It‘s a quiet book detailing her Rotary trip to Iceland for a year at 18yrs old which helped her decide to pursue writing as a career seriously. It‘s also where Kent became obsessed with the execution of Agnes Magnusdottir, inspiring her book Burial rights, which she details in depth. I adored Burial Rights and I thoroughly enjoyed this. #OzNonfiction

Loved this read. I could relate to much of the way she feels. It also bought back memories of my visit to Iceland. A magical place and a highlight of all my travelling. This prompted me to reread Burial Rites. The book that prompted me to visit Iceland in 2017.

@Rissreadswithcats and I went to see Hannah talk about her latest book last night. Hannah is Australian and her first novel, Burial Rights, achieved international acclaim. This book is her fourth and is a memoir, which in part tells the story of the inspiration and writing of Burial Rights. I can‘t wait to read it 🤓.
Thanks for organising for us to go Nerissa 🙏.
