A picture of Ireland in a place rarely seen, a farmer is cutting turf in a peak bog on a chilly April morning, something catches in his cutting tool, he scrapes the earth around it and finds the severed head of a young woman. We are taken to the western part of Ireland to Count Gallway. Cormac Maguire is an archaeologist working at the National Museum, he is asked to examine the head to help date it to see if a crime has been committed. He asks Nora Gavin, an American pathologist to help. Other young women have been disappearing from this area including the wife and young son of a wealthy landowner, Hugh Osborne. After finishing the examination of the woman's head, Hugh asks Cormac if he would help in an archaeological survey of some land Hugh was developing. Cormac agrees and asks Nora to join him so they can learn more about the girl whose head they found. Since they're helping Hugh, he asks them to stay at his home with his cousin and her son. This is a wonderfully descriptive novel full of the emotions of the locals, the music that gives meaning to many lives and the history of the bog which has provided the livelihood to many people for generations. When Cormac and Nora find a ring in the girls mouth, they are able to give a time to her burial approximately, 1652. They ask a teacher what was going on in this vicinity at that time and he tells them that this was a time of ethnic cleansing in Ireland, similiar to modern Bosnia. The Catholics were removed from western Ireland and had to move elsewhere to make room for the Protestents under Cromwell. People were forced from their homes, many starved, many died. The characters are memorable, the reader hopes that Cormac and Nora will return in another novel to follow their romance. The story itself was well told and difficult to put down. A lovely work. Highly recommended.
