Sacred Ground
by
Barbara Wood


I liked the book. The main character is Erica, the archaeologist excavating a cave in which a Native American wall painting is found and a skeleton... After she finds the skeleton, the next chapter goes back in time to tell the story of the woman whose bones were found. The next chapter goes back to Erica and another find in the cave, to then tell the story of that find in the next chapter. That way the story of Native American women in California is told from 2000 B.C. forward.

Do not expect anything too deep; it's nice and relaxing reading for the beach. What I do not understand - how can Erica find things that get progressively younger, while she is digging? Shouldn't they get older??? Must have missed the explanation for that....

7 out of 10 - entertaining, but pretty shallow, so it does not make me want to run to the next shop to buy another one.
