}}Hannah Kent (born 1985) is an Australian writer.

Early life

Kent attended Heathfield High School.

Career

In 2010, Kent co-founded the Australian literary journal Kill Your Darlings.

In 2011 she won the inaugural Writing Australia Unpublished Manuscript Award for her novel Burial Rites.[1]

A documentary about Kent's experiences in Iceland and writing Burial Rites was aired on ABC1 as an episode of Australian Story titled 'No More Than a Ghost,' on 1 July 2013.[2]

She is completing a creative writing PhD at Flinders University.[3]

Burial Rites

Published in May 2013, Burial Rites tells the story of Agnes Magnúsdóttir, a servant in northern Iceland who was condemned to death after the murder of two men, one of whom was her employer, and became the last woman put to death in Iceland.[4] Kent was drawn to the idea of writing her story after a visit to the scene of the woman's execution in a lonely area of Iceland, close to where she stayed for some time as a Rotary student when she was 18.[5] The novel crafts a more ambiguous, sympathetic image of the life of a woman widely regarded in popular opinion to have been 'an inhumane witch, stirring up murder'.[6]

In 2017 it was confirmed that Jennifer Lawrence would play the role of Agnes Magnúsdóttir in a film adaption.[7]

Burial Rites has been translated into thirty languages.[8]

The Good People

Kent's second novel The Good People (2016) is set in Ireland's County Kerry in 1825. It is the story of widow's struggle to find a cure for her grandson who has been struck down by a mysterious inability to speak and who is feared by others in this superstitious community as a changeling.[9]

The Good People has been translated into ten languages.
