By Julia Armfield

Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Private Rites by Julia Armfield is a tale of three siblings coming together when their world has been reshaped by bodies of water.

What We Say: “The author of Our Wives Under the Sea returns with a spectacular, disquieting tale of sisters, Isla, Irene and Agnes as they navigate queer love and faith when the world seems to be ending. A must read” – Samantha de Haas

What They Say: “A chilling vision of a future capital that I’ve found impossible to shake” – i News

Available on Bookshop.org, Waterstones and Barnes & Noble
