What do you think about the parallels between Knocknaree and Rob’s own story? In Knocknaree, the archeologists are busy trying to unearth the past before developers come and build a highway; in Rob’s case, he’s struggling to remember what happened to his friends all those years ago before it comes out that he should have been removed from the current murder investigation. What might the woods represent in each case?
