Beschreibung
Teenage Silvie and her parents are living in a hut as an exercise in experimental archaeology. Her father is obsessed with imagining and enacting the harshness of Iron Age life. Haunting Silvie's narrative is the story of a bog girl sacrificed by those closest to her, and the landscape both keeps and reveals the secrets of past violence and ritual as the summer builds to its harrowing climax. Touching and disturbing.
