The February Nutshell

Books mentioned in this edition: a sweet, summery and meaningful Australian YA debut, an Adrian Mole-esque Australian children’s book from the 80s, a novel that some of my peers disliked because they had to read it in high school (but I loved it), a dark and witty Muriel Spark novel from the 1960s, and my first Agatha Christie.

Quotes by Emily Gale (?)

“Parents are the most confused people - they urge us forwards into every next stage, but then hold us back if they transition becomes inconvenient. Grow up! Don't grow up so fast! What's the right speed? What's the right way?”
― Emily Gale, I Am Out with Lanterns

“...Whoever said that pain healed with time was just making it up for something to say. Pain circled around up high like a bird of prey, and you were a tiny mouse on the ground. At times you didn't even know the bird was up there, but then you might fall under its shadow again.You could either stay inside your hole and never go out, or you could run the risk and see what else was outside.”
― Emily Gale, The Other Side of Summer
