Seven Steeples by Sara Baume
4.0
Very warming, quiet & introspective - There’s no plot just life/ the lives of Bell and Sigh (and dogs Pip and Voss <3 ) and all the details imaginable of the house occupied for 7 years in this novel. Whilst you’re not let in to the interior worlds of Bell and Sigh, you end up somehow knowing them closely.
Masterful nature writing/imagery/descriptive and lyrical prose. It at times felt like long form poetry by its fractured form and emphasis on detailed description.
Boring/beautiful. Mundane/Complicated clutterful lives. Ideal/what do we really want in life, who gets to leave society, what is living, what do we really need in order to live?
Very soothing to read amidst chaos or low dips.
