Klappentext zu „Bog Child “
Digging for peat in the mountain with his Uncle Tally, Fergus finds the body of a child, and it looks like she's been murdered. As Fergus tries to make sense of the mad world around him - his brother on hunger-strike in prison, his growing feelings for Cora, his parents arguing over the Troubles, and him in it up to the neck, blackmailed into acting as courier to God knows what, a little voice comes to him in his dreams, and the mystery of the bog child unfurls.Bog Child is an astonishing novel exploring the sacrifices made in the name of peace, and the unflinching strength of the human spirit.

Rezension zu „Bog Child “
"As a writer, Dowd appears to be incapable of a jarring phrase or a lazy metaphor. Her sentences sing, each note resonates with an urgent humanity of the sort that cannot be faked" -- Meg Rosoff Guardian 20080308 "The work of an outstanding writer" The Sunday Times 20080203 "A captivating first love affair, a hilarious red herring and profound truths about politics and family add up to a novel set to win awards in the coming year" -- Geraldine Brennan Observer 20080323 "An unflinchingly honest and brave novel" Irish Independent 20080126 "Only two months in, and I may have already found my favourite book of the year. Siobhan Dowd's Bog Child is an astonishing read and the kind of book that holds you in a trance" -- Becky Stradwick The Bookseller 20071116
