Description

Beastings by Benjamin Myers is a sparse and poetic novel about morality, motherhood and corruption. Set against the violent beauty of Northern England, the story follows a teenage girl who leaves the workhouse and abducts a child placed in her care, leading to a savage pursuit through the Cumbrian mountains. The local priest is called upon to retrieve the child, and the girl fights starvation and the elements, encountering the hermits, farmers and hunters who occupy the remote hillside communities. This American Southern Gothic tale explores the harsh realities of rural life and the complexities of human relationships. A brutal and thought-provoking novel, Beastings is a powerful exploration of the human condition, set against the rugged and unforgiving landscape of Northern England.
