In this atmospheric and profoundly moving debut, Cathy and Daniel live with their father, John, in the remote woods of Yorkshire, in a house the three of them built themselves. John is a gentle brute of a guy, a former enforcer who fights for the money when he must, but who otherwise just wants to be left alone to improve his children. When a local landowner shows up on the doorstep, their precarious existence is threatened, and some actions is set in motion that can only just result in violence. Steeped in the natural world of northern England, this is a lyrical commentary on the bonds of siblings and fatherhood, and on the meaning of community in the modern world. Elmet marks the launch of a major new voice in literary fiction.
