As Meat Loves Salt

pick

Finished this morning and 1. I‘m not ok. 2. I have questions 3. The empathy I feel for such despicable characters is causing me concern. A gay love (?) story in the 1600‘s, it was never going to work!!
This novel is mainly a story of obsession. Hungry ghost energy. Please someone read this, I need to talk. #AllTheTriggerWarnings #NeverReadSoManyReviews #BookedInTime

AllDebooks Well done for making a decision! I'm still dithering 10mo

Cuilin @AllDebooks it was harder than I thought and I‘m the one that picked the time period! š¤¦ā€¨ā™€ļø¸lolš (edited) 10mo

Bookwormjillk That‘s what I picked too. This was all my normally well stocked library had. Not my usual time period but happy to be reading something different! 10mo

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk Yay I‘m glad somebody else is. Apparently I had this as a ā€want to readā€¯ on Goodreads. I can‘t remember why but rereading reviews it looks good. 10mo

Mollyanna I‘m still trying to decide! I‘ve got it narrowed down to 3ā€¦ 10mo

ChaoticMissAdventures This sounds so good! And manageable. I have already started mine because I am trying to read my bookcase and the only book I had for this time is 972 pages

Forever Amber

10mo

Cuilin @ChaoticMissAdventures I stacked Forever Amber though. It looks really good. 10mo

Cuilin @Mollyanna that was me till this morning. You still have time. 10mo

DebinHawaii I think I am going with this one:

The King's General

10mo

Cuilin @DebinHawaii Love Du Maurier, this sounds great. 10mo

DebinHawaii @Cuilin Not going to lieā€”it‘s also short & I needed that! š‰š† 10mo

As Meat Loves Salt | Maria McCann

An unsettling combination of the brutal, obsessive, beautiful, and tragic...and so very, very good. The protagonist, Jacob Cullen, is a man you‘d sprint a mile from in real life (and bolt the doors behind you, quick smart), but as a character he hooks you in.

TW for sexual violence (and just violence generally, tbh).
