Summary
āAn unusual, exhilarating hybrid of high-stakes, propulsive narrative; erudite, yet breezy summations of specialized historical data; and strikingly evocative language. . . .The novelās ideas are explored with stylish rigor and a rare boldness made all the more powerful by its surprising lyricism. The setting and many of the themes in THE HIDDEN call to mind Don DeLilloās novel The Names.ā ā New York Times Book Review
Ā
From PEN/Macmillan award-winning novelist and poet Tobias Hill comes The Hidden, a gripping story of a naĆÆve newcomer whose arrival at a high-stakes archaeological dig of ancient Spartan ruins unearths long-buried secrets. Interweaving scenes of ancient Sparta with present-day events in a fascinating study of group dynamics, Hill cuts to the heart of the games people play to stay in control. Written with astonishing grace and power, The Hidden is a novel about secrets and the true cost of fulfilling oneās desires.
