Bog Queen

In Bog Queen by Anna North, read by Lily Newmark, an American forensic anthropologist named Agnes investigates a remarkably preserved Iron Age body discovered in a northwest England bog. As she delves into this ancient mystery, Agnes grapples with historical complexities and modern tensions between peat-cutters and activists, all while facing her own identity and skills. The narrative weaves together themes of empowerment and connection across time, contrasting contemporary life in post-Brexit England with the rich tapestry of Celtic history.
