Hardy-esque, atmospheric tale of an isolated enclave in rural Yorkshire where the young narrator lives with his father and sister. Daddy is an enormous, almost super-human man who has made his living with his fists and is determined to build his children a home - but on lands to which he owns no deed, leading to trouble with the local landowner. Loved the descriptive writing, the sense of menace, and the combination of a feeling of timelessness with intimations of more modern troubles (mine closures, sell offs of public housing). Amazing debut novel and I'm happy I came across it courtesy of it having been shortlisted for the Booker.
