Private Rites by Julia Armfield

3.0

After loving Our Wives Under the Sea, my expectations for Armfield’s newest book were high. And I can’t say I was let down exactly, but this just wasn’t what I was expecting.

Armfield’s writing was again stellar and I loved the first bit of the book. But after that the pacing felt off. I found I wasn’t excited to pick the book up.

The ending helped bring it back together for me and I know this will be a favorite of many. I didn’t hate it and look forward to whatever is next for Armfield, but I this one feels different from Our Wives.
