Spill Simmer Falter Wither by Sara Baume
3.0
Ray and One-Eye are quite frankly, two peas from the same pod. Both outcasts of society. Utterly consumed by fear, anxiety, longing and loneliness. It’s no wonder really, that they were drawn together.
“Sometimes I see the sadness in you, the same sadness that’s in me. It’s in the way you sigh and stare and hang your head. It’s in the way you never wholly let your guard down and take the world I’ve given you for granted…”
Baume beautifully observes -and vividly evokes, the aimlessness of their nomadic travels and lifestyle. Full of pensive -yet poetic writing, highlighting the melancholic bleakness of the Irish countryside and the loneliness and isolation of life “on the road”.
