I am only marginally enjoying this book. She has some fantastic poetic descriptions. The dialect of dropping the 'the' throughout the text is disruptive to me - it is perhaps something in rural northern england that I am unaware of.

The character development is shallow. I find it hard to believe that this strange gruff family sits around and chats so much each day...maybe more of these chats need to be detailed.
