Sara Baume’s debut novel, Spill Simmer Falter Wither is divided into four sections, each one a different season, with names she made up to reflect what her main character Ray is going through; spring becomes spill, simmer is summer, falter is fall, and wither, winter. It is an absolutely stunning read and one that promises to linger long after you’ve turned that last page. This week, on Bookmark, Uma speaks to Irish author Sara Baume about her wonderful book.
