The Carhullan Army is set in Cumbria, and Hall's sharp and vivid evocation of landscape ('The light was fading fast, and the rust-coloured bracken in the banks looked like a tide of scrap metal') has the value of rooting her dark fantasy in a recognisable rural world ... This is a grim, uncompromising novel, unrelieved by either hope or humour. Just as she gives her central character no name, so Hall allows the reader no chance to identify with her emotionally. Her account is detached and dispassionate, written in prose as crystalline and craggy as the landscape, its unexpected usages - 'jeoparding', 'prideful' - lending it weight. Although its narrative voice and political vision may be too bleak for many readers, the seriousness of Hall's intent and the scale of her achievement are to be highly commended.' - Michael Arditti, Daily Telegraph The Carhullan army - Sarah Hall.
