Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/29lWc3nOaDhqTcWWbSVVhd?si=d03076672f414219 Happy Saturday, book clubbers! This month, we read the debut novel ‘New Animal’ by Australian author Ella Baxter. This book, set initially in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, then later in suburban Tasmania, follows the life of Amelia Aurelia; an embalmer who spends her days in funeral homes, painting the faces of the dead, and nights sleeping with strangers via the dating apps on her phone. More than anything, though, this is a novel of grief - by chapter four Amelia’s beloved mother dies by falling down the stairs, and the reader joins the protagonist as she wades through the all-consuming pain of loss. Grab a copy of next month’s book club pick, Malibu Rising via our affiliate link here. Got some thoughts on our July pick? We’re allllll ears (also, eyes, heads, bodies, etc etc) - join in the convo over on our Insta, @theshamelessbookclub.
