Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield
Animal Dreams by Barbara Kingsolver
About sisters in Arizona, environmental/political issues of the 1980s (one sister goes to Nicaragua to aid the contras).
Beautiful description of why the liver, and not the heart, should be the metaphor for human desire and soul. Heart is an incredibly strong, tough muscle, difficult to cut into and repair. Liver is like a stack of damp tissue paper, dissolving at the touch.
