Histoire
Irina obsessively takes explicit photographs of the average-looking men she persuades to model for her, scouted from the streets of Newcastle. Placed on sabbatical from her dead-end bar job, she is offered an exhibition at a fashionable London gallery, promising to revive her career in the art world and offering an escape from her rut of drugs, alcohol and extreme cinema. The news triggers a self-destructive tailspin, centred around Irina's relationship with her obsessive best friend and a shy young man from her local supermarket who has attracted her attention....

Histoire
Grieving mother Magos cuts out a piece of her deceased eleven-year-old son Santiago's lung. Acting on fierce maternal instinct and the dubious logic of an old folktale, she nurtures the lung until it gains sentience, growing into the carnivorous little Monstrilio she keeps hidden within the walls of her family's decaying Mexico City estate. Eventually, Monstrilio begins to resemble the Santiago he once was, but his innate impulses—though curbed by his biological and chosen family's communal care—threaten to destroy this fragile second chance at life.

Histoire
Lydia is hungry. She's always wanted to try Japanese food. Sashimi, ramen, onigiri with sour plum stuffed inside - the food her Japanese father liked to eat. And then there is bubble tea and iced-coffee, ice cream and cake, and foraged herbs and plants, and the vegetables grown by the other young artists at the London studio space she is secretly squatting in. But, Lydia can't eat any of these things. Her body doesn't work like those of other people.

Born in a bathtub in 1954 to a white mother and a Cherokee father, Betty Carpenter is the sixth of eight siblings. The world they inhabit in the rural town of Breathed, Ohio, is one of poverty and violence—both from outside the family and, devastatingly, from within. But despite the hardships she faces, Betty is resilient. Her curiosity about the natural world, her fierce love for her sisters, and her father’s brilliant stories are kindling for the fire of her own imagination, and in the face of all to which she bears witness, Betty discovers an escape: she begins to write.

Little Marek, the abused and delusional son of the village shepherd, believes his mother died giving birth to him. One of Marek’s few consolations is his enduring bond with the blind village midwife, Ina, who suckled him when he was a baby. For some people, Ina’s ability to receive transmissions of sacred knowledge from the natural world is a godsend. For others, Ina’s home in the woods is a godless place.

The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

Atmospheric, Romantic, Cryptic, Sapphic
It’s so rare that I’m not ready for a book to end. Usually I’m waiting for the author to wrap it up, find that final line to end on, and be done with it.
This book ended less like a novel, and more like a painting. You are handed an image of that final scene, nothing else, and you get to decide what it means.
Usually open ended stories drive me crazy, and it IS driving me crazy. I want to know how all of the pieces fit together. I want all of the loose story threads to tie up neatly. But it still worked for me.
The whole book felt like the best part of a story, all atmosphere. The whole thing is just promise of the premise. It is all the most suspenseful part of a horror movie, before you see the monster. Before all the imagined possibilities are gone.
There is no contrived explanation. No moustache twirling villain with outrageous motivations. No bad CGI that takes you out of the story. There is no messy third act that snowballs into breaking down doors to find out exactly why things happened. It ends before it can devolve from an indie art film into an action movie lol.
Maybe that’s why people think it’s slow? I don’t know, I didn’t feel that way about it at all.
It’s just a woman trying to love her wife the way she did before things changed. It’s a beautiful allegory for illness, grief and trauma. Or anything in life that creates a before and after.
It’s wistful, romantic, cryptic at times, and beautifully written. The audiobook was performed incredibly well, and I am almost definitely going to pick it up in print as well so I can go through it and read back through Leah’s stories.
This was a weird review, but it was a weird, wonderful book lol. I’m going to be thinking about it for a long time.

Do not recommend
An utterly boring book with an annoyed-sounding narrator. I don't blame her though, the book is so boring and she had to read it out loud several times. There's simply no plot in the book. There are a couple of interesting themes but the book doesn't really develop them. Yes, maybe the book was more focused on poetry and beautiful sounding phrases but that's not enough to keep me engaged for 6hrs. If you're interested in listening about a woman recollecting some wistful memories, listing random facts about the ocean and grieving her wife while she's still alive and not trying to do anything to help her, this book is for you :D

you are better off leaving this one unread
struggle to finish. trite, seems like the author wrote the title, thought it sounded cool, so then she wrote a book that incorporated the title. the story revolves around a big mystery, and the mystery, which never gets resolved really (you're welcome) is ten times more interesting than the narrative that gets pushed through. reads like a debut novel from a woman who didn't have an editor with enough confidence to tell her she needed to scrap most of this and start over. can't say I'll ever trust another booktok book, because these are books that are made for people who don't like books. when a book with a nice cover becomes a best seller, and the product is this shitty? people are flogging idiots.
nothing happens in this book, go outside, take a walk, scream at the pigeons, play in traffic. any of these are better alternatives to reading this absolute trash heap of a novel.
I hope you stub your toe on the bathtub everytime you get in, Julia Armfield.

I kept waiting for the story to go somewhere..
Was not expecting this read. Firstly, I just want to say that I’m sure to many it is a very interesting read! But to me, the story was just not enough. Everyone likes different stuff though. I was quite underwhelmed.
