either you get it or you don’t. i did. i’m so glad i did. this is a beautiful story of love, loss & grief that masterfully uses elements of horror & mystery. i almost don’t want to say anything about the book because you just need to read it. i believe that every person will take something different away, i certainly did. the writing is beautiful & although i’m not usually a fan of a dual pov, armfield uses it in a way that enhances the story & the reader’s understanding. no matter what you’re going through, you could relate to either character; miri is losing her wife while leah  is losing herself. i don’t want to say much else as this is a book you should experience by yourself, i suggest going in blind but open minded. julia armfield is definitely an author i’ll be visiting again.
