Sinopse
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.
Resumo da Crítica

"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)
