When her life is unexpectedly upended, Anna escapes London – and her husband – for a remote cottage in the wetlands of rural England. She hopes the solitude might unblock the novel she can’t bring herself to write.

Out in the marshes, the locals discover something shocking, risen to the surface after many years buried in the silty earth. Anna is drawn to the site, fascinated and shaken by what she finds there. And as researchers descend, her curiosity gives way to obsession . . .

An unsettling, propulsive and fiercely tender novel about buried loss and renewal, Our Numbered Bones explores how we must unearth the past in order to make peace with what we’ve lost.

Kritikerstimmen

A gut-punch of a novel, as honest as it is eloquent (EMMA DONOGHUE)
Cathartic, bold and ultimately hopeful. A novel with a powerful emotional charge that stayed with me long after I finished it. Katya Balen understands very well how the strange resides in the everyday, how the dark intermingles with the light - but above all, how accepting the difficult archaeologies of our past can offer restitution, and a hope that will not fade (JESSIE BURTON)
Disquieting, beautiful, earthy. Our Numbered Bones made its way inside of me, words following me long after I'd finished reading. Balen has crafted a stunning, raw meditation on grief, nature and writing. An invisible string transcends centuries, living and dead entwined in their mutual request for recognition. Masterfully written, Balen's prose envelopes you from the very first page (JODIE MATTHEWS)
