Elmet by Fiona Mozley
4.0
Gah, this was so good.
Elmet isn't exactly a dark fairy tale, but it has that feel. Fiona Mozley's language perfectly straddles the line between ever-after and creepy foreboding. I'm a sucker for stories about semi-feral young people, class conflict, and growing up, and Elmet is all of those things. And, gawds, I love these kids, their father, and the Yorkshire woods they live in.
Joe Jameson's narration of the audiobook is flawless.
