Great if far fetched but McEwen is a great writer
Loved it, the characters of the children were each unique, raw, endearing and also at times horrible. But they loved each other and were totally loyal to the end.

disturbing but I felt there was more to be said
disturbing but I felt there was more to be said about the brother-sister relationship and how they got to that point

Unflinching but grim
This is an unflinching brave book which is well written and worth a listen but it’s a very grim subject matter. It kept reminding me of the film Naked by Mike Leigh. How long can we stay in this character’s head? Mercifully the novel is short.

Weird and disturbing incest story.
I'm no prude but this wasn't my cup of tea. a story of 4 strange unlikable children who are orphaned and decide to fend for themselves. Not particularly interesting but very cringey. Refund please!
