Shortlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award (2010).
Ross Raisin was Granta Best Young British Novelist and Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year. In God's Own Country, Ross Raisin tells the story of solitary young farmer, Sam Marsdyke, and his extraordinary battle with the world. Expelled from school and cut off from the town, mistrusted by his parents and avoided by city incomers, Marsdyke is a loner until he meets rebellious new neighbour Josephine. But what begins as a friendship and leads to thoughts of escape across the moors turns to something much, much darker with every step.
