![]() The events take place during a hot summer week when a group of students, with a somewhat bumbling professor, take part in ‘experiential archaeology’, living as though in the Iron Age for a week. This time, it’s set in the more recent past (late 20th century) but looks back to an ancient past that can only be reconstructed to a certain point. I’d been looking forward to reading Ghost Wall and was delighted when a lovely former student sent me a copy, and it’s a strange (in the best possible way), brief novel which I read in a couple of evenings. I’ve previously read Bodies of Light and Signs for Lost Children, both set in the nineteenth century though with powerful modern resonances. ![]() Ghost Wall is Sarah Moss’s sixth novel, and enthusiasm for her novels – diverse though often historical – seems to be growing, and rightly so. ![]()
