The Sin Eater
Author: Alice Thomas Ellis
In Alice Thomas Ellis's first novel, originally published in 1977, a troubled family gathers at a house in Wales, uneasily attending upon the clan's failing patriarch. Ellis's tale is characterized by caustic, startling wit, a spare and intense lyricism, and profound insight into the way eternity haunts quotidian inconsequence.

Brilliant and disconcerting is an apt description. Wonderful writing. The expected dark mood of Irish and Welsh books.
