    The Book is Best
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 25 February 2021*

This book should not be missed. I first read ‘The Dig’ several years ago, enjoyed it thoroughly and passed it on. The memory of it stayed with me, but inevitably merged with all things archaeological in newspapers, books and on TV. Then along came the film adaptation which I watched and enjoyed - to an extent, but felt it a compromise, and in some instances indelicate. So, I decided to buy another copy of the book and have been so pleased and rewarded that I did. The novel is written with 4 narrators. This is what makes the books so much better for me. There is more to learn and to enjoy about the characters from their view point and it reminds that this is a book of fiction and why fiction is fundamentally important. The narrations of Edith Pretty and Peggy Piggot are at the heart of this novel (as they should be) as this is about people first and foremost; an exploration of loss, disappointment, the wheel of time, and what of us we leave behind. The male narrations have their place, but the women make the book special. I thought long and hard about what seems something of an abrupt end to the novel and it actually fits. It is no surprise and no regret that there are no narratives from the professional archaeologists who all appear earth-bound. What I hope will remain in me are the individual narratives of the four characters.

    Beautifully written and evocative historical novel
  

*by C***G on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 24 August 2018*

This elegant historical novel is well-conceived and beautifully written.  The author recreates the excavation of Sutton Hoo through the eyes of various participants, drawing on authentic detail and historical material.  The result is both convincing and emotionally moving.  There can be no explosive conclusion save what we already know: the excavation was successful, which is the reason there's a story at all.  The novel's limitations, however, are finally one of its many strengths: it sticks to the facts while animating within the parameters of what is known-- or even knowable-- about this particular historical moment.  I highly recommend this book not as intense drama (despite its dramatic moments) but as excellent historical fiction by a sensitive author who writes with informed understanding not only of his material but of both narrative and language.
