Historia
Alejandra no longer knows who she is. To her husband, she is a wife, and to her children, a mother. To her own adoptive mother, she is a daughter. But they cannot see who Alejandra has become: a woman struggling with a darkness that threatens to consume her. Nor can they see what Alejandra sees. In times of despair, a ghostly vision appears to her, the apparition of a crying woman in a ragged white gown.

Historia
They rarely speak to each other, but they take notice - watching from the safety of their cabins, peering into the half-lit drizzle of a Scottish summer day, making judgments from what little they know of their temporary neighbors. On the longest day of the year, the hours pass nearly imperceptibly as twelve people go from being strangers to bystanders to allies, their attention forced into action as tragedy sneaks into their lives.

Historia
There’s a village an hour from London. It’s no different from many others today: one pub, one church, redbrick cottages, some public housing, and a few larger houses dotted about. Voices rise up, as they might anywhere, speaking of loving and needing and working and dying and walking the dogs. This village belongs to the people who live in it, to the land and to the land’s past. It also belongs to Dead Papa Toothwort, a mythical figure local schoolchildren used to draw as green and leafy, choked by tendrils growing out of his mouth, who awakens after a glorious nap.

You may think you know how the fairytale goes: a mermaid comes to shore and weds the prince. But what the fables forget is that mermaids have teeth. And now, her daughters have devoured the kingdom and burned it to ashes. On the run, the mermaid is joined by a mysterious plague doctor with a darkness of their own. Deep in the eerie, snow-crusted forest, the pair stumble upon a village of ageless children who thirst for blood, and the three “saints” who control them. The mermaid and her doctor must embrace the cruelest parts of their true nature if they hope to survive.

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 its 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’ Ghost Wall urges us to wonder how far we have come from the “primitive minds” of our ancestors.
Praise for Ghost Wall:
“I have never read a novel this slender that holds inside it quite so much. Wild, calm, dark yet hopeful, a girl with a smart-mouth narrates her own difficult history as well as that of Britain.... This book ratcheted the breath out of me so skillfully that as soon as I’d finished, the only thing I wanted was to read it again.” (Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist)
“I stayed up half the night gulping down Sarah Moss’s slim, unnervingly tense novel. Ghost Wall has subtlety, wit, and the force of a rock to the head: an instant classic.” (Emma Donoghue, author of Room)
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Narrator Christine Hewitt's insightful characterizations bring greater depth to Moss's nuanced and gripping novel... She's especially effective as Sylvie, whose internal dialogue is biting but whose spoken interactions are colored by fear of her father." (AudioFile Magazine, Earphones award winner)

The dictionary doesn’t contain every word. Gretel, a lexicographer by trade, knows this better than most. She grew up on a houseboat with her mother, wandering the canals of Oxford and speaking a private language of their own invention. Her mother disappeared when Gretel was a teen, abandoning her to foster care, and Gretel has tried to move on, spending her days updating dictionary entries. One phone call from her mother is all it takes for the past to come rushing back. To find her, Gretel will have to recover buried memories of her final, fateful winter on the canals.

There came an elastic aftershock of creaks and groans and then, softly softly, a chinking shower of rubbled cement. Leaves calmed and trunks stood serene. Where, not a minute before, there had been a suburb, there was now only woodland standing amid ruins. There is no warning. No chance to prepare. They arrive in the night: thundering up through the ground, transforming streets and towns into shadowy forest. Buildings are destroyed.

At least until he meets Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly.

Many Indigenous people believe that one should never whistle at night. This belief takes many forms: for instance, Native Hawaiians believe it summons the Hukai’po, the spirits of ancient warriors, and Native Mexicans say it calls Lechuza, a witch that can transform into an owl. But what all these legends hold in common is the certainty that whistling at night can cause evil spirits to appear—and even follow you home.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed it
A short but really enjoyable story involving a family spending their vacation living as Britons did 3000 years ago, as they join a college anthropology field trip for 2 weeks. I thought it would be interesting, but it was far better than I thought.

Disturbing but worth the read
The story is haunting but well created and definitely worth the listen! Fair warning that the content is not for all.

Great and quick read!
This story is an affecting parable about Brexit, consent, and masculinity gone awry. It is also a critique of the nostalgia for earlier times and the implications those earlier times carried.

not sure why I couldn't stop listening. The story was anxiety-making throughout. the resution at the end was not fulfilling - I dont wanna give it away but I really wanted more to happen. like BAM. instead it went out like "ping"

Strange.....
I tried to read the actual book and just could not get past the extremely strange writing style. So.... I decided to listen. Still very strange but i managed to get through it. I didn't hate the book but i would definitely say it's not a favorite. Funny thing, i purchased the US AND UK editions of the book because i loved the covers so much.

A good read!
I enjoyed the historical aspects of this novella as well as the overall story being conveyed. It centers on a seventeen year old girl named Silvie, with her controlling and manipulative father and subservient mother who go on vacation to participate in an experiential archaeological re-enactment of an Iron Age British Northumbrian camp with a group of college students and a Professor, Silvie calls "Prof".
The book mirrors and highlights the ancient traditional roles of women who in this story as well are left to 'gather' and cook and clean, while the men are 'hunters' providing the meat for the camp. The story really starts when the Prof and Silvie's dad try to reenact the ancient ceremonies of the Bog People who resided in the region, which included building a "Ghost wall' of skulls of their kills as a sacrifice of sorts.
The crux of the story revolves around Silvie's relationship with her controlling father when she challenges his ideas, and how he views her and her mother's roles in life, and as the tension between father and daughter builds, others in the camp begin to take notice of her struggle.
The story started slowly and did pick up as I went along, and it didn't end like I'd expected, but all in all still a good 3 1/2 out of 5 star read.

Disturbing and infuriating
A portrait of the anger and learned helplessness that accompany abuse. It's a cruel thing to listen to, but worth it.

haunting is the word
Interesting and original, believable and likely psychological drama, and the narrator could not have been more perfect.
