This was Burial Rites by Hannah Kent.
It's a grim but gripping and beautifully written story which deals ( in a saga like way) with an unfolding tale of murder and retribution, raising important questions around justice and social conformity while presenting the reader with a fascinating picture of 19th Century Iceland and some of the people who lived there.
Well that's what everyone else in the reading group thought.
As sometimes happens, I beg to differ.
Ah. You were a lone voice crying in the wilderness, then?
