Bloomsbury presents Beastings by Benjamin Myers, read by Ralph Ineson.

Winner of the Portico Prize for Literature and the Northern Writers’ Award

‘A brilliant, brutal novel’ ROBERT MACFARLANE

A girl and a baby. A priest and a poacher. A savage pursuit through the landscape of a changing rural England.

When a teenage girl leaves the workhouse and abducts a child placed in her care, the local priest is called upon to retrieve them. Chased through the Cumbrian mountains of a distant past, the girl fights starvation and the elements, encountering the hermits, farmers and hunters who occupy the remote hillside communities. An American Southern Gothic tale set against the violent beauty of Northern England, Beastings is a sparse and poetic novel about morality, motherhood and corruption.©2014 Benjamin Myers (P)2020 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Contemporary Fiction Genre Fiction Kurgu

Eleştirmen yorumları

Intimate and elemental … Myers has the potential to become a true tragedian of the fells
This bitter, alarming, occasionally visionary novel of the British wilderness is likely to linger in the mind for some time
Myers is quite simply an excellent and already accomplished writer. His prose is taut, confident, professionally polished but at the same time maintaining a sense of rustic and unrefined authenticity, that which is truly hewn (Sarah Hall)
I don’t know if I have encountered such a strong, engaging character in a book for some time: this is startling, sublime writing
A story that will grip you to the final word and a tour de force
A gripping ride through an imagined heart of Lake District darkness. I couldn't have writ it better myself
Wonderful – tough and generous and beautiful (Will Atkins)

A tale of human determination, for good and evil, where two strong willed forces confront each other and find a resolution whose morality challenges all our beliefs. Lyrically written, beautifully told.

Beautifully written, wonderfully spoken

Second Benjamin Myers book I have read. The story is hard to read the subject matter tough. A sad tragic tale but having said that I'm glad I read it. Benjamin Myers tale pulls you along the characters vivid and strong. would highly recommend. The narrator is top drawer.

Beautiful yet difficult storyline

Incredible story read incredibly well! The world was created so beautifully by Ben and then the reading by Ralph truly bought the story to life.

Incredible story read incredibly well!!

A comment on the hypocrisy of religion and the desperate aftermath of repeated trauma, this is a painful and difficult story. It’s gripping throughout and the characters are brilliantly drawn but avoid if you are looking for something uplifting.

A harrowing but excellent read

Another unbeatable combination of Myers and Ineson, both deliver impeccably. How such vivid landscapes and people are painted in words, I do not know

gripping excellence as always
