Loving this: the poetic immersion in the environmental elements is typical of what I love about many contemporary Irish authors, and the family (blood, and found) are wonderful, because of their many and varied flaws.
Death, (apparent) resurrection, and birds are also important. Even young men, swayed by their libido, are tenderly, empathetically, portrayed.

I've only read 21 pages, but I'm slowly dissolving in the beautiful prose I associate with many contemporary Irish authors:
“They watched the dawn like a caress travelling the heavily misted veil of the river valley.”
“The day was improperly born. Blotches of wet fog obscured its shape, there were loose long sinews of mist.”
I think the plot will prove engaging too.
