Set against Iceland's stark landscape, Hannah Kent brings to vivid life the story of Agnes, who, charged with the brutal murder of her former master, is sent to an isolated farm to await execution.

Horrified at the prospect of housing a convicted murderer, the family at first avoids Agnes. Only Tóti, a priest Agnes has mysteriously chosen to be her spiritual guardian, seeks to understand her. But as Agnes's death looms, the farmer's wife and their daughters learn there is another side to the sensational story they've heard.

Riveting and rich with lyricism, Burial Rites evokes a dramatic existence in a distant time and place, and asks the question, how can one woman hope to endure when her life depends upon the stories told by others?]]> 336 Hannah Kent 0316243914 Ahmed 0 to-read 4.00 2013

]]> 16081961 الموسيقى لا تمهلك، إنها تمضي بك سراعا كما الحياة، جدولا طربا، أو شلالا هادرا يلقي بك إلى المصب. تدور بك كفالس محموم، على إيقاعه تبدأقصص الحب ...و تنتهي.
حاذر أن تغادر حلبة الرقص كي لا تغادرك الحياة.
لا تكترث للنغمات التي تتساقط من صولفيج حياتك فما هي إلا نوتات]]> 331 Ahlam Mosteghanemi Ahmed 5 3.64 2012

Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie—magical, comforting, wise beyond her years—promised to protect him, no matter what.

A groundbreaking work from a master, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. It is a stirring, terrifying, and elegiac fable as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.]]> 181 Neil Gaiman 0062255657 Ahmed 0 to-read 4.00 2013
