Spill Simmer Falter Wither by Sara Baume
3.0
4 stars for the beauty of the prose. 1 or 2 stars for the actual storyline. I nearly didn't finish this book, because it was so plodding, so painful to read for someone who prefers books full of interactions. However, the prose was so achingly gorgeous, the character so hauntingly broken, I persevered. (And, because I read it via audio, I could speed it up and read it in half the time).
It is worth a read to enjoy the prose, and the book did get better in the last chapter, but I much preferred the character study of a broken, curmudgeonly man that came via A Man Called Ove to this.
