Strange Heart Beating
Strange Heart Beating | Eli Goldstone
4 posts | 9 read | 24 to read
Seb's beautiful, beloved wife Leda has been killed by a swan. Sorting through her belongings after her death, he comes across a packet of unopened letters from Olaf, a man whom Leda had never mentioned. Floundering professionally and sunk by grief, he decides to travel to Leda's home village in Latvia to patch her story together. But with each new person that he turns to for answers, Seb is met instead by more questions about Leda, her past and their life together. A darkly funny, seductive novel that confronts the black undercurrent of possession inherent in love, Strange Heart Beating is a breathtaking debut from an author whose vision is both acerbic and tender.

My millennial author eli goldstone draws on the Leda and the swan myth to tell a story of loss and grief in a playful yet intense manner. Leda, is killed by a swan,her husband discovers letters from a Latvian man (leda's Latvian history is unknown to him) he travels to a strange country to discover her + confront his sadness. I could have easily used this for cover love. Loved this.

Cinfhen Oh wow!! You‘re off to a great start 5y

After his wife Leda is killed by a swan, Seb heads to Latvia to find out about his wife's past before her knew her after discovering a bundle of letters. With a slight take on the myth of Leda and the Swan, Goldstone creates a haunting tale of grief with tiny sprinklings of myths and folklore. I loved it.
