'Iceland feels personified in this memoir . . . intimate and never less than captivating' - 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, in Always Home, Always Homesick.
'[A] gripping memoir . . . lyrically written . . . riveting' - The Sunday Times
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
