'One of my favourite novels' JEFF VANDERMEER
From the bestselling author of Our Wives Under the Sea, a haunting, heart wrenching novel of three sisters navigating queer love and faith at the end of the world.
There's no way to bury a body in earth which is flooded
It's been raining for a long time now, for so long that the lands have reshaped themselves. Old places have been lost. Arcane rituals and religions have crept back into practice.
Sisters Isla, Irene and Agnes have not spoken in some time when their estranged father dies. A famous architect revered for making the new world navigable, he had long cut himself off from public life. They find themselves uncertain of how to grieve his passing when everything around them seems to be ending anyway.
As the sisters come together to clear the grand glass house that is the pinnacle of his legacy, they begin to sense that the magnetic influence of their father lives on through it. Something sinister seems to be unfolding, something related to their mother's long-ago disappearance and the strangers who have always been unusually interested in their lives. Soon, it becomes clear that the sisters have been chosen for a very particular purpose, one with shattering implications for their family and their imperilled world.

A Gothic Vision of a Drowning World
In an unnamed city, flooded by constant rain, sisters Agnes, Isla and Irene get the news of their father's death. The three have been distant from each other but yet more from their father, a famous architect who never paid them too much heed. But his legacy is rife with new family conflicts and inexplicable secrets. Private Rites is a novel about how people cope with catastrophe that upends life as we know it, queer relationships, and family. -

eBook (ePUB 3)
Moody and damp
Not quite as good as Armfields first book (Our Wives Under The Sea) but still just as amospheric and dark. Armfields obsession with things being damp and wet all the time is such a clever backdrop to her narratives about human connection. She creates a sense of discomfort both in the worldbuilding and in the interpersonal, making her books a unique and memorable experience! Very readable.
