Sara Baume’s Spill Simmer Falter Wither is a different kind of love story. A misfit man finds a misfit dog; spanning the four seasons echoed in the title, their relationship grows and intensifies, until a savage act forces them to abandon the precarious life they’d established and take to the road.
Sara Baume was born in Lancashire and grew up in Co. Cork.
