julia armfield writes with the kind of clarity and grace that most writers spend decades trying to learn. to say that she’s a master of her craft is insufficient. every story is all consuming.

3.0

bit funny pacing at times but really solid fantasy, well written and fun to read, a refreshing approach to the genre. got me out of a reading slump and I liked it.
oh ps. loved that there was no romance. so uncommon, but it took nothing away from the book and I think made rin so compelling.

Family Lexicon by Natalia Ginzburg

5.0

a book of contradictions: abrupt but expansive, casual but exquisite, simple but complex, poetry but essay, autobiography but novel. as always with Ginzburg, you cannot afford to miss a single word.
