Meta
Curious historical novel set in the small, closed world of an early modern English village, as the new owner sets about destroying the intimate society that has evolved, and replacing the subsistence economy with commercial sheep-farming. Well told, with a hint of the supernatural in the background, extremely atmospheric, the story sticks in the mind, as the destruction of the village and the dispossession of its inhabitants leaves in the reader a strong sense of tragedy and injustice.
