The day of her wedding, 17-year-old Ada’s life looks good; she loves her husband, and she loves working as an apprentice to her mother, a respected midwife. But after a year of marriage and no pregnancy, in a town where barren women are routinely hanged as witches, her survival depends on leaving behind everything she knows. She joins up with the notorious Hole in the Wall Gang, a band of outlaws led by a preacher-turned-robber known to all as the Kid. Charismatic, grandiose, and mercurial, the Kid is determined to create a safe haven for outcast women. But to make this dream a reality, the Gang hatches a treacherous plan that may get them all killed. And Ada must decide whether she’s willing to risk her life for the possibility of a new kind of future for them all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/580b92551b631bb287e8ed1a/1482885720447-KZHI4G38AP3E53ORF8E8/nonfiction+large.jpg Work I'm a senior correspondent at Vox, covering American family life, work, and education.

Published by Bloomsbury, Oct. 14, 2025. When a body is found in a bog in northwest England, Agnes, an American forensic anthropologist, is called to investigate. But this body is not like any she’s ever seen. Though its bones prove it was buried more than two thousand years ago, it is almost completely preserved. Soon Agnes is drawn into a mystery from the distant past, called to understand and avenge the death of an Iron Age woman more like her than she knows. Along the way, she must contend with peat-cutters who want to profit from the bog and activists who demand that the land be left undisturbed. Then there’s the moss itself: a complex repository of artifacts and remains, with its own dark stories to tell. As Agnes faces the deep history of what she has unearthed, she’s also forced to question what she thought she knew about her talent, her self-reliance, and her place in the world. Flashing between the uncertainty of post-Brexit England and the druidic order of Celtic Europe at the dawn of the Roman era,Bog Queenbrims with contemporary urgency and ancient wisdom as it connects across time two gifted, farsighted young women learning to harness their strange strengths in a landscape more mysterious and complex than either can imagine. http://www.annanorth.net/about daily 0.75 2026-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/580b92551b631bb287e8ed1a/1589743419854-EWMDNFQW7U9NJIJNGDWS/Outdoor-Selects_200004_Anna_Author_Shoot_S19_9895_fullres-JPEGs_Variant_1.jpg About Photo by Seth Pomerantz http://www.annanorth.net/contact daily 0.75 2026-04-01 http://www.annanorth.net/events daily 0.75 2026-02-24 http://www.annanorth.net/press daily 0.75 2016-11-26 http://www.annanorth.net/book-clubs daily 0.75 2025-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/580b92551b631bb287e8ed1a/540e911c-dd47-4d86-82c8-95b40f5485ee/IMG_0507.jpg Book clubs http://www.annanorth.net/editing daily 0.75 2024-06-26
