My first read of the year was a spectacular one. Not for the plot-lite averse, but I loved it. The writing is just fantastic. This slim novel set in one endlessly rainy day at a holiday camp of log cabins, by a remote Scottish loch, is all about the atmosphere and observations.
As each vignette touches on the inner lives, frustrations and micro-aggressions of the inhabitants, an ominous feeling begins to creep in....⬇️

KarenUK Every detail is captured perfectly, each holiday-maker so subtly observed. And interspersed between the character studies are beautiful paragraphs of descriptions of the creatures and landscape somehow looking on.... The whole novel gives that feeling of both being voyeur and of being watched.
Really fantastic. Can‘t wait to read more Sarah Moss.
