Interesting dramatic reading of the exploits of the Crag Vale Coiners and how they tried to evade and rebel against the law of the land.
Whilst there were times of utter brilliance and beautifully written prose this book was 2/3rd longer than it needed to be, a lot of repetition and whilst it's meant to be heavier on informative than the dramatic, it was predictable and besides the descriptions of violence, relatively flat overall.

Graphic: Cursing, Death, Sexual content, Sexual violence, Torture, Violence, and Blood
Moderate: Confinement and Murder
It is gritty and doesn't gloss over tte violent, sexual, savageness of moor life in the 18th century. But it is never glorified or romanticised
