REVIEW: As Meat Loves Salt by Maria McCann!!

"In the seventeenth century, the English Revolution is under way. The nation, seething with religious and political discontent, has erupted into violence and terror. Jacob Cullen and his fellow soldiers dream of rebuilding their lives when the fighting is over. But the shattering events of war will overtake them.

A darkly erotic tale of passion and obsession, As Meat Loves Salt is a gripping portrait of England beset by war. It is also a moving portrait of a man on the brink of madness.

Hailed as a masterpiece, this is a first novel by a most original new voice in fiction."

(Old Read)

One of the most thrilling, mesmerizing and beautiful stories I have read. The build up to Ferris & Jacob's affair was captivating and addictive and the pain, love and wickedness these two partake in was deepily saddening.

 It is not a story about love torn apart by society, but rather one about love beaten dead into the ground by one's own madness and inner demons. I wanted them to have love despite EVERYTHING and in the end, I was fullfilled as a reader, but not in the way I wanted... the lush writing is the guilty party on that front. If you are thinking about reading this book, then you must, you really must. You will not regret it. When its beautiful, its heartwarming, when its loving, you fall in love and when its scary & sad, you just might shed more then a tear - you will scream at the characters and find yourself of the same mind.

Easily, one of my favorite books of all time.

This book is phenomenal.
