Overview
Ancient beings from Irish mythology and folklore come to life in this richly atmospheric nightmare, bound to engross readers of The Boatman's Daughter and The Salt Grows Heavy. The girl in the bog is awake, and she's not alone. One morning in a field in rural Ireland, two farmers discover the body of a young woman-two thousand years old, preserved under layers of peat. Once unwrapped from her ancient bindings, she awakens into an unfamiliar modern Ireland, ripping a hole through space and time. Dark and strange figures of legend quickly follow her, reigniting old animosities and long held grudges. With the help of a trio of wannabe teenage witches, the girl from the bog flees from the people who've already killed her once before. Chased by rivals of the past who are trying to rewrite myth itself and by an obsessed American archeologist, ancient legends tear through modern Ireland in a flash of tangled red hair. Reimagining Irish mythology with witty commentary on the formation of folklore and culture, The Girl in the Bog is a darkly inventive novel that bends genres and weaves them into Celtic knots, bound to fascinate and enthrall readers of Neil Gaiman and Cassandra Khaw.
