Author's second novel. A feral, inarticulate Welsh farmer, robbed of his ancestral home, exacts a terrifying revenge on the English yuppies who have turned it into a vacation home. Winner of the 2004 Wales Book of the Year Award, for Stump. "An extraordinary and ferocious work. It will inevitably generate comparison with the novels of Cormac McCarthy, but Nial Griffiths is his own man, with his own distinctive voice." –John Banville
