smilebackwards: merlin in a castle arch (merlin)
As Meat Loves Salt by Maria McCann. Totally enthralled by this. It was ~600 pages and I read it in less than 4 days kind of enthralled. Extremely well written and gut-wrenching historical fiction set in 1600s England. Tortured, obsessive, unreliable narrator POV character Jacob has an okay life until he burns it to the fucking ground and then he does it all over again, like holy fuck. Described as 'erotic', which is very true, but manages to do it without being explicit. I am wrecked by spoilers ) I will be thinking about this one. (So many trigger warnings. Be fully prepared if you consider reading this book.)

Watched another short series Agatha Christie adaptation Why Didn't They Ask Evans? This one definitely did not telegraph the twists like Seven Dials but almost to the opposite point where I'm like wait, did all the pieces fit together?
