Ghost Wall - Sarah Moss

In Ghost Wall, Sarah Moss weaves a haunting tale that intertwines the past and present against the backdrop of a chilling re-enactment of Iron Age Britain. When a group of university students embarks on an experimental archaeology project, they immerse themselves in a world of survival, rituals, and ancient beliefs. However, the lines between history and reality blur as the dynamics of power, gender, and family come to the fore. As teenage Silvie grapples with her tyrannical father and the oppressive expectations he places on her, the group’s experiment spirals into a confrontation with their own primal instincts. Moss’s evocative prose invites readers to reflect on the complexities of heritage, identity, and the haunting shadows that shape our lives. Perfect for those who appreciate lyrical storytelling with a thought-provoking edge.
