Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss
5.0
This book was terrifying and electrifying. It brought tears to my eyes and took my breath away with its beautiful, dark writing.
I participated in experimental archaeology in college so I was drawn to this story by its setting (other anthropology nerds will likely enjoy this too) but the underlying commentary on race, sexuality, and feminism was thought provoking. Humans are capable of extraordinary tenderness but also thoughtless cruelty, especially in groups. Especially when there are no "rules".
This book is reminiscent of Educated and Lord of the Flies.
