麻豆约拍

Fergus is out digging illegally for peat with his uncle.

Then he discovers the body of a child, who seems to have been murdered.

He tries to concentrate on revising for his A levels, as a means of escape from the 'insane' world around him: his brother on hunger-strike in prison, his growing feelings for Cora, his parents arguing over the Troubles, and being blackmailed into acting as a courier for the IRA.

A voice comes to him in his dreams and the story of the bog child unfurls.

Siobhan Dowd's award-winning novel is set in the summer,1980s, on the Northern Irish border during the Troubles.

Omnibus of the first five of ten episodes abridged by Sara Davies.
