I am beginning to appreciate the meditative style of Sarah Moss more and more. I admit when I first started out with her novels I thought they lacked some ... oomph? Not a tremendous amount 'happens' but it does so in rather beautiful ways.
While Summerwater is my favourite of her novels so far, The Fell is impressive. It manages to pull off a meditation on the experience of "lockdown" without dragging in politics or even mentioning that dang virus. It's a character study really but as with many of Moss's novels, it's closely linked to landscape- in this case, the setting is the Peak District, Nov 2020.

This one will certainly go on my burgeoning shelf of pandemic literature - a little masterpiece in miniature ( take note authors of 700-page beasts, much can be achieved in far fewer pages ).
