Amy Arnold’s Lori & Joe is a novella about a woman who finds her husband dead one morning. Rather than confront the bodily reality of his death, she walks up the fell by their home in the unusually foggy Lake District. During this journey another kind of confrontation occurs. In rhythmic stream-of-consciousness prose, Arnold creates a meandering thought-train of memory, regret, loss, loneliness and affection, sliced through at points by sharp moments of tragedy.
