I read this book in one long breath. I didn’t know what to expect when I started reading WOMEN and it wasn’t what I expected. A evocative look at romantic obsession, first loves and self-destructive tendencies we all seem to harbour. I loved it. It brought back memories from a time I was less sure of myself. The act of reading this book felt like an overdue ode to the person I was.
Started reading LONG LIVE THE TRIBE OF FATHERLESS GIRLS by @tkmadden yesterday and I can honestly say I wasn’t ready for this kind of searing honesty. You think you have read it all, and then this comes along. The themes are varied and the length and weight of this book is a comforting presence in my life at the moment. I want this book to last a lifetime. As an aside, check out @jjoongie’s thoughts on the book too.
#SaltSlow is tugging me to places I didn’t know I could exist in. I’m in absolute awe of Julia Armfield’s writing. Thanks for the advance copy @kishani and congratulations on publishing this brilliant work, it’s everything and more.
