Ancestors: A History of Britain in Seven Burials by Alice Roberts is an interesting book that considers how age old archaeological sites and new, advance genetic techniques have rewritten the unwritten past. Alice considers some of the most famous burials in this island nation, which was once joined to Europe, and reviews the evidence associated with them in a narrative which is engaging and informative. It did lose its way a little towards the end, however this did not detract for me from the overall book.
