  • "Na visokem barju v pogorju Severne Irske osemnajstletni Fergus po naključju naleti na srhljivo najdbo: dekliško truplo v barjanski šoti. Piše se leto 1981, Irsko pretresa globoka politična in humanitarna kriza. V severnoirskem zaporu Long Kesh zaradi gladovne stavke umirajo pripadniki Irske republikanske armade, ki zahtevajo status političnih zapornikov. Toda predsednica britanske vlade Margaret Thatcher je neomajna. Deset mladih zapornikov umre. Fergus, glavni junak romana Barjanski otrok, si prizadeva, da bi razumel svet okoli sebe. Njegov starejši brat Joe gladovno stavka, doma se krešejo mnenja o obliki političnega boja, v njem se prebuja prva ljubezen. V sanjah mu prigovarja komaj slišni glas barjanskega otroka, čigar skrivnostna smrt se postopoma razkriva. Arheološka raziskovanja kažejo, da naj bi bilo dekle žrtvovano v času železne dobe."@sl
  • "The North/South border, Ireland, 1981. While illegally digging up peat in a bog where they should not have been, Northerner Tally and his nephew, Fergus McCann, discover the body of a child. They initially suspect the body to be a victim of the merciless IRA. However, archaeological studies reveal the body to be over 2,000 years old and not necessarily a child. Discovering who, when, and why the girl now called Mel died is the topic on everyone's mind as teenager Fergus deals with A-level exams, his brother going through a hungers strike while in prison, working as a courier for Sinn Fein, learning to drive, and his interest in Cora, the daughter of the archaeologist who has come from Dublin to investigate the bog child. Packed with complexities and overarching themes, the late Siobhan Dowd presents a passionate and lyrical final novel."
  • "Irlande du Nord, 1981. Près du village de Drumleash, le jeune Fergus Mc Cann, âgé de 18 ans, creuse la tourbe. Il découvre le cadavre momifié d'une naine, morte 2.000 ans auparavant, qu'il baptise Mel et qui lui parle en rêve. Il tombe amoureux de Cora, la fille de l'archéologue envoyée pour examiner la momie et tente de raisonner son frère Joe, militant de l'Ira, qui entame une grève de la faim."
  • "In 1981, the height of Ireland's modern "Troubles," eighteen-year-old Fergus is distracted from his upcoming A-level exams by his imprisoned brother's hunger strike, the stress of being a courier for Sinn Fein, and his dreams about a murdered girl he discoveres in a peat bog."
  • "Digging for peat in the mountain, Fergus finds the body of a child, and it looks like she's been murdered. As Fergus tries to make sense of the mad world around him a little voice comes to him in his dreams, and the mystery of the bog child unfurls."@en
