Elmet by Fiona Mozley
4.0

Atmospheric and unique with beautiful writing and an interesting protagonist. It’s heartbreaking and homely, and honestly, I would read a whole book just detailing the daily lives of the main family and the surrounding environment. The ending was a bit unsatisfying and the shifts in perspective felt gimmicky. But, the way it handles themes of violence, property, nature, and gender makes it well worth the read
