In the long, hot summer of 1939, Britain is preparing for war, but on a riverside farm in Suffolk there is excitement of another kind. Mrs. Pretty, the widowed owner of the farm, has had her hunch confirmed that the mounds on her land hold buried treasure. As the dig proceeds, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary find. This fictional recreation of the famed Sutton Hoo dig follows three months of intense activity when locals fought outsiders, professionals thwarted amateurs, and love and rivalry flourished in equal measure. As the war looms ever closer, engraved gold peeks through the soil, and each character searches for answers in the buried treasure. Their threads of love, loss, and aspiration weave a common awareness of the past as something that can never truly be left behind"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Preston (pbk) Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Preston   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Preston   Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Fiction Preston Historical Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction Preston   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Fiction Preston   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Fiction Preston   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Preston   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Preston   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Fiction Preston   Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
