A stunning and Powerful book. It's the story of a family trying to survive off the land, isolating themselves, trying to avoid trouble which comes to them in the form of a wealthy landowner who feels entitled to take advantage of them. It's one of those books that you don't want to put down. It was shortlisted for the man Booker prize in 2017. I'm surprised it didn't win. A very powerful and unexpected ending. Do yourself a favor and read it. I found the characters of Daniel, his sister Kathy and his father really interesting.
