Further evidence that just having a PhD doesn’t mean you’re not an idiot. 
Also you might want to have a very basic idea of bog people prior to reading. Also if you’re a rabbit owner,

you should know that they hunt rabbits.

Fantastic quick read about a boiling family drama, framed in a setting that calls back to class, gender and academic background-and how that affects our ability to interpret  the world both in a literal and emotional sense.

There is a use of a slide one time-to describe a character’s inability or stubbornness to adapt his language to modern terminology in a historical context. I didn’t anticipate it and I wish there was someone who mentioned it. It’s a story heavily about a fractured and demanding father whose daughter is just discovering herself. It is well written and I think all TW that I applied are accurate.
