"Ghost Wall has subtlety, wit, and the force of a rock to the head: an instant classic."
--Emma Donoghue, author of Room

A worthy match for 3 a.m. disquiet, a book that evoked existential dread, but contained it, beautifully, like a shipwreck in a bottle."
--Margaret Talbot, The New Yorker

A taut, gripping tale of a young woman and an Iron Age reenactment trip that unearths frightening behavior

The light blinds you; there's a lot you miss by gathering at the fireside.

In the north of England, far from the intrusions of cities but not far from civilization, Silvie and her family are living as if they are ancient Britons, surviving by the tools and knowledge of the Iron Age.

For two weeks, the length of her father's vacation, they join an anthropology course set to reenact life in simpler times. They are surrounded by forests of birch and rowan; they make stew from foraged roots and hunted rabbit. The students are fulfilling their coursework; Silvie's father is fulfilling his lifelong obsession. He has raised her on stories of early man, taken her to witness rare artifacts, recounted time and again their rituals and beliefs--particularly their sacrifices to the bog. Mixing with the students, Silvie begins to see, hear, and imagine another kind of life, one that might include going to university, traveling beyond England, choosing her own clothes and food, speaking her mind.

The ancient Britons built ghost walls to ward off enemy invaders, rude barricades of stakes topped with ancestral skulls. When the group builds one of their own, they find a spiritual connection to the past. What comes next but human sacrifice?

A story at once mythic and strikingly timely, Sarah Moss's Ghost Wall urges us to wonder how far we have come from the "primitive minds" of our ancestors.

Convenience is king (or queen) for a busy person
Style: 600 Count (2 Pack of 300), Size: 300 Count (Pack of 2)
I use these plates a lot. Nice looking, nice weight and finish. Good for a quick bite or reheating something in the microwave. Thick enough and heavy enough not to leak. I use 3 different sizes, price is right

Mini paper plates
Style: 600 Count (2 Pack of 300), Size: 300 Count (Pack of 2)
These smaller paper plates are perfect for a quick lunch when you don't need a big plate but just something quick for a sandwich or a dessert. I love these plates because they are so durable. They're sturdy and the value is amazing. I've checked everywhere on pricing and you can't really beat Amazon's prices for these. Additionally, they always arrive on time and they are always packed well. I've been using these for years. I love them. They make my life much easier. (:
