SHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA FIRST NOVEL AWARD 2015. LONGLISTED FOR THE GUARDIAN. FIRST BOOK AWARD 2015. LONGLISTED FOR THE DESMOND ELLIOTT PRIZE 2016. WINNER OF THE SUNDAY INDEPENDENT. NEWCOMER OF THE YEAR, IRISH BOOK AWARDS 2015. WINNER OF THE GEOFFREY FABER MEMORIAL PRIZE FOR FICTION. You find me on a Tuesday, on my Tuesday trip to town. A note sellotaped to the inside of the jumble-shop window: COMPASSIONATE & TOLERANT OWNER. A PERSON WITHOUT OTHER PETS & WITHOUT CHILDREN UNDER FOUR. A misfit man finds a misfit dog. Ray, aged fifty-seven, 'too old for starting over, too young for giving up', and One Eye, a vicious little bugger, smaller than expected, a good ratter. Both are accustomed to being alone, unloved, outcast - but they quickly find in each other a strange companionship of sorts. As spring turns to summer, their relationship grows and intensifies, until a savage act forces them to abandon the precarious life they'd established, and take to the road. Spill Simmer Falter Wither. is a wholly different kind of love story: a devastating portrait of loneliness, loss and friendship, and of the scars that are more than skin-deep. Written with tremendous empathy and insight, in lyrical language that surprises and delights, this is an extraordinary and heartbreaking debut by a major new talent.
