How to describe it? A love story. A Western. A tragedy? A farce? #AHeartinWinter is all these things and more. Most importantly though, it is simply exquisitely written. Every sentence. Every paragraph. Every aching turn of phrase. Lord, to write like this. I'd give a limb.

this book changed me for reading it—exquisite literary fiction by @madeleine_watts set against the prickly beauty of the american southwest. it’s about love! art! how we survive in a burning world! weird motels and sand sculptures! proofs drop soon, shout if you’d like one 🌵
