Flaptekst van het boek over IJsland van Hannah Kent
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.
Hannah Kent was born in 1985 in Adelaide, South Australia and grew up in the Adelaide Hills, as a bit of a solitary child who loved to 
read. After finishing school she attended a course in creative writing course at Flinders University and earned a PhD. She is the co-founder and publishing director of Australian literary journal Kill Your Darlings. In 2011 she won the inaugural Writing Australia Unpublished Manuscript Award. She is the author of Burial Rites, The Good People, Devotion and Always Home, Always Homesick: A Love Letter to Iceland.
