Book Synopsis



NATIONAL BESTSELLER * A NEW YORKER AND ESQUIRE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR * NATIONAL BOOK FOUNDATION SCIENCE + LITERATURE SELECTED TITLE

"Two smart, ambitious women born two millennia apart--a Celtic druid and a forensic scientist--bring unexpected acclaim to one another . . . a strangely beguiling tale that celebrates perseverance, scientific inquiry, environmentalism, progress, and cooperation." --Christian Science Monitor

When Agnes arrives in the peat bogs of Northern England to study an anthropological marvel--an Iron Age body--she isn't expecting the controversy. Peat-cutters are looking to profit from the bog, activists are demanding it be preserved, scientists are clamoring for the next discovery. And then there is the moss itself: a repository of artifacts, with its own dark stories to tell.

Flashing between post-Brexit England and the druidic order of Celtic Europe, Bog Queen brims with ancient wisdom as it connects across time two gifted, farsighted young women learning to harness their strengths in a landscape more mysterious than either can imagine.
