Starve acre / Andrew Michael Hurley.
"An atmospheric and unsettling story of the depths of grief found in an ancient farm in northern England, soon to be a major motion picture starring Matt Smith and Morfydd Clark. The worst thing possible has happened. Richard and Juliette Willoughby's son, Ewan, has died suddenly at the age of five.

But as they delve further into their grief, both uncover more than they set out to"-- Provided by publisher.
