Teenage Silvie and her parents are living in a hut in Northumberland as an exercise in experimental archaeology. Her father is a difficult man, obsessed with imagining and enacting the harshness of Iron Age life. Haunting Silvie's narrative is the story of a bog girl, a young woman 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.

Condición: Bueno. : En el norte de Inglaterra, lejos de las ciudades pero cerca de la civilización, Silvie y su familia viven como si fueran antiguos británicos, sobreviviendo con las herramientas y el conocimiento de la Edad de Hierro. Durante dos semanas, se unen a un curso de antropología para recrear la vida en tiempos más simples. Rodeados de bosques de abedules y serbales, preparan estofado con raíces recolectadas y conejo cazado. Silvie comienza a imaginar otra vida, una que podría incluir ir a la universidad, viajar, elegir su propia ropa y comida, y expresar su opinión. Los antiguos británicos construían muros fantasma para protegerse de los invasores, barricadas de estacas coronadas con cráneos ancestrales. Cuando el grupo construye uno propio, encuentran una conexión espiritual con el pasado. ¿Qué sigue sino el sacrificio humano? Una historia mítica y sorprendentemente oportuna que nos invita a reflexionar sobre cuánto hemos avanzado desde las "mentes primitivas" de nuestros antepasados.
