To Rest Our Minds and Bodies

Opis
'It's rare to encounter so purely candid and redolent a portrait of a life . . . the novel inspires something closer to exaltation . . . To Rest Our Minds and Bodies is a fraught chamber piece of emotional intensity: an age-old story – of the highs and lows of first love, and of a young person finding their place in the world – told in a way that feels unsettling, exciting and very fresh.' – Daily Telegraph, Four-star review from Lucy Scholes
'Aligns with contemporary writing such as Convenience Store Woman... The build-up of simple phrases makes for beautiful depictions of intimacy... This is deeply absorbing... The end of the novel is a tour de force....' – Morning Star
'The syntax is unusual and highly specific, punctuated by hundreds of ‘somehow's, ‘actually's and ‘suddenly's, as though the young narrator anticipates an incredulous reader. But the effect is to recreate the way that, at that age, it feels like everything that happens to you is happening for the first time ever.' — ‘What we're reading this week – by the Times books team', Laura Hackett, The Times
In her final year of university, an undergraduate in psychology reckons with a romantic obsession with a postgraduate in computer science. The story of a first love, unrequited, but not quite, To Rest Our Minds and Bodies confronts thorny gender relations, contradictory desires, consent, and unravelling mental health within Gen Z. Armstrong queries the nature of experience, mapping the disintegration of a young woman's sense of self and engagement with the physical world in an anti-Bildungsroman that is a most powerful first novel.
