really brilliant sparsh writing that fills up the page in such a wonderful way. a look at grief, isolation and fear set in the welsh countryside. a fair bit of disturbing imagery around animal death but it is done very well. stunning read

Really good, but not for everyone. Genuine horror. Just a brutally ugly and depressing experience.

The descriptions of badger-baiting are nausea-inducing. It's not at all glorified and Badger Watch and Rescue helped with the book, but if you're triggered by that sort of thing....amycecilia's review
