In the long, hot summer of 1939, Britain is preparing for war, but on a riverside farm in Suffolk there is excitement of another kind. Mrs. Pretty, the widowed owner of the farm, has had her hunch confirmed that the mounds on her land hold buried treasure. As the dig proceeds, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary find. This fictional recreation of the famed Sutton Hoo dig follows three months of intense activity when locals fought outsiders, professionals thwarted amateurs, and love and rivalry flourished in equal measure. As the war looms ever closer, engraved gold peeks through the soil, and each character searches for answers in the buried treasure. Their threads of love, loss, and aspiration weave a common awareness of the past as something that can never truly be left behind"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Excavations (Archaeology) $z East Anglia $z East Anglia $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Landowners $z East Anglia $z East Anglia $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Widows $z East Anglia $z East Anglia $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Sutton Hoo Ship Burial (England) $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Archaeology $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Fouilles (ArcheÌologie) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $z Est-Anglie $0 (CaQQLa)201-0473041 $z Est-Anglie $0 (CaQQLa)201-0473041 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a ProprieÌtaires fonciers $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $z Est-Anglie $0 (CaQQLa)201-0473041 $z Est-Anglie $0 (CaQQLa)201-0473041 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Veuves $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $z Est-Anglie $0 (CaQQLa)201-0473041 $z Est-Anglie $0 (CaQQLa)201-0473041 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 651 6 $a Sutton Hoo (Angleterre : Site archeÌologique) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 7 $a FICTION $x Historical. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x Biographical. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Excavations (Archaeology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917564 650 7 $a Landowners. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00991750 650 7 $a Widows. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01174951 651 7 $a England $z East Anglia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01243626 651 7 $a England $z Sutton Hoo Ship Burial. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01246012 655 4 $a Biographical fiction. 655 4 $a Historical fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726537 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 775 08 $i Reproduction of (manifestation): $a Preston, John, 1953- $t Dig. $d London : Viking, 2007 $z 9780670914913 856 42 $3 Cover image $u 9781590517802.jpg 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20220620152848.0 $n 6 $p 1 BOCD 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0DE7ED60F0CE11ECBB5FC64E213FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
