The Loud Earth by Elisabeth Murray

I somehow missed Elisabeth Murray's novella on its release in 2014 but I am very glad to have caught up with it now.
Like Patricia Highsmith's The Cry of the Owl haunted by Henry James' The Turn of the Screw (that's a high concept meeting that I'm always going to bundy into), The Loud Earth tells you its secret early but makes you hope you're wrong. What a fantastic debut.
