Nobody writes such incandescently beautiful prose as Josephine Rowe. Her sentences are literary dopamine. Likewise, is the ethereal wonder of her imagination.
So I read this novella on the strength of your review and while I loved the whole book, I’m inclined to agree with you about wanting more of the first narrative - which was originally published as a short story(as you know from reading the author notes). Josephine writes in such a way that makes me want to give up on my own because she writes everything so much more beautifully than I ever could.

She’s such an exquisite writer, Bram! And she’s coming to our bookshop on Saturday! So excited.
