Elmet by Fiona Mozley
4.0

Ask my husband, I am a sucker for anything described as atmospheric. I suffered through the film
Crimson Peak
because it was so beautiful and atmospheric.

Elmet started a bit slow -- almost plodding along -- for me, but the prose and the narration hooked me.

Final thoughts: The story was slow in a deliberate, but gripping, way. At times, the brutality was very intense -- but realistic. The characters felt very real.
