Burial Rites: Giveaway

"They say I must die"-Burial Rites by Hannah Kent

I posted about this wonderful historical fiction selection last week on Book Beginnings on Friday, [Click HERE to see my POST] and I'm still enjoying this one. It is set in Iceland in 1829, and I am not too familiar with this era of Icelandic history, but I'm learning a great deal as I move through the novel. As I said, it is a historical novel, but it is based on a true story. I can't wait to see where this one will take me. I'm about 50% done, so I've got a bit more reading to do. If this first line strikes your fancy click on the giveaway link below and try your luck. Little Brown Publishing is giving away a limited number of Advanced Readers Copy of Burial Rites by Hannah Kent. GOOD LUCK!
