From Hannah Kent, the bestselling, award-winning author of Burial Rites, comes a book about the extraordinary country that is Iceland, and about the creative life it inspired. Always Home, Always Homesick is for lovers of Iceland and of travel and for those interested in what it means to write.
'Immediate, intimate and never less than captivating' - The Guardian
From the bestselling author of Burial Rites comes an inspirational memoir about her travels in Iceland, an extraordinary country that has forged a nation of storytellers.
When she was seventeen years old, Hannah Kent travelled to Iceland from Australia. She'd never seen snow before, didn't speak a word of Icelandic. All she knew was that she wanted to have an experience - to soak up something of the world.
Soon she found herself isolated in a remote part of Iceland in a dark winter. It was a gruelling experience, but she quickly fell in love with the country: with its brutally beautiful landscapes and with its people. On returning home, with images of Iceland's towering glaciers and windswept tundras in her dreams, Hannah began to write.
Now, as a mother and a wife, she looks back to that extraordinary year in Iceland.
Praise for Burial Rites:
'Outstanding' - Madeline Miller
'Gripping, intriguing and unique' - Kate Mosse
'One of the best Scandinavian crime novels I've read' - Independent
'Remarkable' - The Sunday Times
'A must-read' - Grazia
