Ancestors: A prehistory of Britain in seven burials - by Alice Roberts

This book took a while as it is quite long and packed with solid content. I knew the author was an expert in her field and a very good speaker, so I was unsurprised to find that she is also an excellent writer. [I later found that I had read and enjoyed another book of hers some time ago.] The text does not assume any particular expertise, but it also does not explain every last word. The style is pleasantly conversational and personal, with the occasional entertaining and informative tangent. I will be returning to this author’s work.
