Description

In this laugh-out-loud hilarious novel set over a summer in sun-drenched Greece, four incompatible women digging into the past may just find the answers to their futures.

On a remote archeological site in Greece, the mythic home of the first Olympics, four women discover an unusual artifact. It’s a piece of history that definitely shouldn’t exist. And for the head archaeologist in charge, a relic himself, it means something’s gone horribly wrong.

Elise, Kara, Z and Patty all find themselves digging here together, but they couldn’t be farther apart. Kara’s a polished conservator calling off her wedding. Patty and her bowl cut are desperate for love. Millennial Z just got dumped and fired yet again. And Elise, their star excavator, is a lone wolf about to go rogue. 

To figure out what they’re really digging for, and to topple the man who wants to hide their history, these dirt-crusted colleagues have to become what they’ve avoided for years—friends. If they put their own messes aside for one summer, they might just make the discovery of a lifetime

Featured Reviews

I thought this book was primarily a shout out to the dedication and accomplishments of female athletes, starting from the beginning of the Olympic games in ancient Greece, to modern times ( the author gives her thanks to Serena Williams, her hero, in the acknowledgements).

I liked that four women on an archaeological excavation in a small Green town ban together o challenge and expose the sexist male archaeologist, Charles, who has hidden and sold off key evidence that would disclose women and not men as the athletes in the location they are exploring, excavating. in Greece.

Information on excavation methods and procedures very interesting and insightful for the reader to understand the passion, not only of the female excavators but also the women who were the athletes and champions in long ago Olympic games.

There is romance and break ups in the novel, and a lot of good humor on the part of the author, This was an entertaining, informative, and intelligent read.
