The best stumbled-upon discovery I’ve had in years.
A darkly comic exploration of life and struggle that follows a family in a small British town after a particularly extreme flood. Instead of styling the tale with veneers of theme like hope, beauty, or evolution, Comyns lets it all exist as-is — life relentlessly moving forward without overarching intention.
