- It is springtime, and two outcasts — a man ignored, even shunned by his village, and the one-eyed dog he takes into his quiet, tightly shuttered life — find each other, by accident or fate, and forge an unlikely connection. As their friendship grows, their small, seaside town suddenly takes note of them, falsely perceiving menace where there is only mishap; the unlikely duo must take to the road.
- Gorgeously written in poetic and mesmerizing prose, Spill Simmer Falter Wither has already garnered wild support in its native Ireland, where the Irish Times pointed to Baume’s “astonishing power with language” and praised it as “a novel bursting with brio, braggadocio and bite.” It is also a moving depiction of how — over the four seasons echoed in the title — a relationship between fellow damaged creatures can bring them both comfort. One of those rare stories that utterly, completely imagines its way into a life most of us would never see, it transforms us not only in our understanding of the world, but also of ourselves.

“One man and his dog. Not an original idea, but this is no ordinary novel.
This is my favourite novel of the decade.” By bleachhouselibrary
This is my favourite novel of the decade.” By bleachhouselibrary
“This is the adult version of a book like ‘The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night’. In this book a middle aged man with some unclear infirmity, possibly from birth, and his rescued cur with one eye find companionship and then desperation as their time together goes by. The man is the storyteller in his conversations with the dog and in his thoughts and dreams, sometimes spilling together. Baume’s prose pulls you into his life,” By tasson
