Dig, Paperback

Descriere

A fictional recreation of the Sutton Hoo archaeological dig in Suffolk, in 1939. Based in part on the diaries of the young female archaeologist who found the first treasure, and who happened to be the author's aunt, it brilliantly and comically dramatised 3 months of intense activity, when locals fought outsiders, professionals thwarted amateurs, and love and rivalry flourished in equal measure. 'Very fine, engrossing, exquisitely original' Ian Mc Ewan
