Dug out by... DaveThis is the second Paul Faustino novel, Faustino being a South American sports journalist. He's supposed to be resting, but he gets drawn into the mystery surrounding the disappearance of a teenage football star, El Brujito.
The story takes us into a world of slavery and the occult, showing how the past can influence the present.
It has been long-listed for Carnegie 08.
Postbag - may contain spoilers
Dave ~ Having read the book, my feeling is that it won't make the short list this time. Like Tamar it deals with the undeniable link between us and our history, but there are no significant young characters in the story - El Brujito appears at the beginning and end, but in between it's mostly an adult story.
