How To Bring Him Back
How To Bring Him Back | Claire HM
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
‘How to Bring Him Back’ is a journey into a darkly humorous love triangle. It’s 90s Birmingham and Cait is post-university, aimless and working in a dive bar. She’s caught between Stadd, who’s stable, funny, compatible as a friend, and her compulsive sexual attraction with Rik. Present day Cait picks up her pen, on her yearly writing retreat to Aberystwyth, and addresses an absent Stadd with the lessons she has learnt from her past.
Exploring the dynamics of desire and consent while reflecting upon the damage people can inflict on each other in relationships, Claire is an exciting and bold writer for the modern age.

Oof, this story is a gut punch. A graphic reflection by a now-older-and-wiser protagonist on her self-destructive choices and impulses in her twenties, the writing is really vivid and almost brutal. Unsettingling and uncomfortable, as great writing often is.

An hour into the first of four train journeys I'll be making this week and I'm starting to worry that I haven't brought enough books.

TiredLibrarian I prefer print to ebooks, but an ereader is great for travel. 🚉 3y
