Résumé
I took hold of my sister's hand. The light seeping into our jail from the high windows darkened as she spoke, filtered by a sombre parade of ashen clouds. It had been hot for days. Hot and humid and dense and now the engulfing heavens were trapping the heat within like the stone lid over a sarcophagus.

The struggle for the land and for what's right....?
Fiona Mozley's 'Elmet' is an unforgettable slide into the darkness of a mysterious family in the isolated forest of Elmet in northern England. The novel is narrated by Daniel, the sensitive son of a brutal yet loyal father who imposes a rather marginal, back to nature lifestyle upon both his son and his daughter Cathy. But don't be deceived by initial appearances, for Mozley demonstrates a unique gift for luring the reader with compelling clues and allusions which may or may not point to the actual goal of Daddy whose stoic and no-nonsense demeanor conceals a potential for violence rich in consequences for the future of Daniel and Cathy. Throw in a bit of class struggle and various illegal activities : Mozley weaves the perfect tale of bucolic noir with protagonists struggling to defend their peculiar sense of rights to the land in ways which go beyond the letter of the law.
