FINALIST FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE “A stunning debut . . . A wonder to behold.”* “An utterly arresting novel about family, home, rural exploitation, violence and, most of all, the loyalty and love of children under siege.” —*Evening Standard “An impressive slice of contemporary noir steeped in Yorkshire legend . . . Elmet possesses a rich and unfussy lyricism.” —The Guardian “Thrums with all the energy and life of the forests that surround the family . . . Rhythmic and lilting, the writing is dreamily poetic . . . Elmet is a rich and earthy tale of family life, sibling relationships, identity, how we define community.” —Financial Times
