Our Numbered Bones

In "Our Numbered Bones," award-winning children's author Katya Balen makes her adult debut with the story of Anna, a grieving novelist retreating to rural England in search of inspiration and healing from her writer's block and personal trauma. Isolated in a remote cottage, Anna's struggles with her mother's dementia and her past lead her to an extraordinary archaeological discovery—a remarkably preserved woman's body. As she becomes engrossed in the dig, Anna finds that this ancient find may hold the key to reconciling her grief and moving forward. This poignant narrative weaves together themes of loss, love, and the healing power of history.
