A visceral, visual novel of rural experiment and dark secrets, set in 1930s England at the height of the Great Depression.

Worn out by poverty, Lettie Radley and her miner husband Tommy grasp at the offer of their very own smallholding - part of a Government scheme to put the unemployed back to work on the land. When she comes down to Essex to join him, it's not Tommy who greets her, but their new neighbours. Overbearing and unkempt, Jean and Adam Dell are everything that the smart, spirited, aspirational Lettie can't abide.

As Lettie settles in, she finds an unexpected joy in the rhythms of life on the smallholding. She's hopeful that her past, and the terrible secret Tommy has come to Foxash to escape, are far behind them. But the Dells have their own secrets. And as the seasons change, and a man comes knocking at the gate, the scene is set for a terrible reckoning.

Combining a gothic sensibility with a visceral, unsettling sense of place, Foxash is a deeply original novel of quiet and powerful menace, of the real hardships of rural life, and the myths and folklore that seep into ordinary lives - with surprising consequences.

"A rich, wonderfully uneasy pleasure...with secrets that are tightly layered, always surprising and teased out with impressive control." (Bethan Roberts)

"Beguiling... It burrows under the surface of the rural idyll, exposing a shadowy hinterland." (Eva Dolan)

This book is pretty slow to get going but is well written and gritty. Narrator is v good

Slow burner

An enthralling story - keeps you guessing while immersing you in the harsh but bountiful lives of the characters. One of the few books that I will buy to keep on my shelves after having listened. Loved it. Narration superb- accents authentic but not overbearing.

Wonderful

Half the time I hadn’t got a clue what was going on . I found it end to end misery and kept meaning to stop listening yet something kept me going . I think what is the point of this ? I was disappointed as I thought it may be more of a social history than it was

Pretty awful
