Review #472: Spill Simmer Falter Wither by Sara Baume



My rating: 5 of 5 stars


“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace.”

----Milan Kundera



Sara Baume, an English author, has penned a life-altering and extremely encouraging story about a man and his pet dog in her debut book, Spill Simmer Falter Wither that unfolds an unusual cord of friendship between a lonely aged man and a badger-baiting trained dog set against the quaint backdrop of an almost secluded island somewhere in the Irish Midlands near the sea. And I will suggest, right at the beginning of my review, to grab a copy of this book which is so much rich in detail and the story that is so much fulfilling. In our everyday daily busy lives, we definitely need a book that will not only be an escape to somewhere exotic or somewhere peaceful but also to be something that can enlighten us with the meaning of life and its importance and as this book fulfills the above criteria, so each and every human soul must READ this book.
