# Ep 756 - Private Rites, by Julia Armfield

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.
