Elmet by Fiona Mozley

5.0

A real slow burner of a book but one which often say so much between its seeming silent passages. There is much in here about violence and when and if there is ever a just cause for it. It also looks at nature and the ownership of land. Oh and it looks at family. So brimming. On top of this there is also this dark brooding sense of dread as we make our way to the denoument.
