About this episode
The episode discusses Julia Armfield's novel Private Rites, exploring themes of family and horror.
Rain, rain, go away, come again another day--oh. You're never going away? You're going to flood the world and make it very damp for a trio of sisters as they parcel out their dead father's legacy a la King Lear But Wetter? Sounds like you're the rain from Julia Armfield's Private Rites , an intimate novel about familial traps that happens to have a horror card or two hiding up its sleeve.
