Description

De Nederlandse editie waarop de succesvolle Netflix-verfilming is gebaseerd. In de zomer van 1939 besluit de rijke weduwe Mrs Edith Pretty om de vreemde heuvels nabij haar landhuis in Suffolk te laten onderzoeken in de hoop dat er misschien een oeroude schat begraven ligt. Een lokale amateurarcheoloog begint met de opgraving en het duurt niet lang voordat hij iets ontdekt; het blijkt een van de belangrijkste archeologische ontdekkingen in Engeland. Terwijl in het hele land angstvallig voorbereidingen worden getroffen voor de naderende oorlog tegen nazi-Duitsland ontstaat er rond de opgraving Sutton Hoo een intense strijd tussen archeologen om de grootste Angelsaksische schat ooit ontdekt bloot te leggen. Steeds meer mensen raken betrokken bij de opgraving, en jaloezie, ambitie en liefde bepalen de koers van een lange zomer aan de kust van de Noordzee. The Dig (De opgraving) is een aangrijpend meesterwerk over een ogenschijnlijk kleine gebeurtenis met verrassend veel verborgen lagen. Het verschijnt voor het eerst in Nederlandse vertaling.
