Spill Simmer Falter Wither by Sara Baume
Reading, reading, reading…Spill Simmer Falter Wither, a debut novel by Sara Baume, is a beautifully written tale of two damaged souls, one a one-eyed dog, who come together in loneliness and mutual comfort over the course of a year. Her prose is poetic with haunting descriptions of the Irish coast and countryside. Written in narrative style of both man and dog, Baume portrays the cruelty both characters have endured in the past which now bonds them to one another. Outstanding.
