Bog Child

In 1981, the height of Ireland's "Troubles," eighteen-year-old Fergus is distracted from his upcoming A-level exams by his imprisoned brother's hunger strike, the stress of being a courier for Sinn Fein, and dreams of a murdered girl whose body he discovered in a bog.

Chloe Parpworth-Reynolds

A tale that mingles reality with fantasy, I'm not actually sure the fantasy elements were needed I thought the slice of life view of a border family in 1980's ireland was compelling enough, I found myself reading the second half of this book in one sitting as I *needed* to kn0w the fate of a character. I would really recommend.
