This week's book pick is Bog Child by Siobhan Dowd.
Fergus McCann discovers something unexpected in a bog on the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland - a child's body. It is soon determined the body is at least two thousand years old, and it looks like she was murdered. Intermixed with this mystery is the rest of Fergus's life: his parents are divided by his brother Joe's hunger strike at the Long Kesh prison, he's a few exams away from getting into med school, and he's being blackmailed to carry packages for the IRA. Fergus also finds himself falling for Cora, the lead archaeologist's daughter, and he keeps seeing the bog child in his dreams. Find out how all the pieces come together in Bog Child.
