E.M. Blake and 1 other person liked Izzy S's review of Bethnal Green:
Bethnal Green by Amélie Skoda
"I cried when the ending aligned with my wish for Suyin — it felt like a personal reward. So many lines in this novel felt like the things I said or thought myself. As someone navigating cultures, I recognized the same questions and longing in both of" Read more of this review »
E.M. Blake and 3 other people liked Kimberley's review of Bethnal Green:
Bethnal Green by Amélie Skoda
"This book was brilliant! What a magnificent debut. Suyin has my heart!

What begins as the story of a Malaysian nurse coming to London to study at Bethnal Green Hospital, morphs into a tale of love, loss and friendship beyond the imagination.

Mark Twain
“Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.”
― Mark Twain

Confucius
“By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.”
― Confucious

Kate Atkinson
“She should have done science, not spent all her time with her head in novels. Novels gave you a completely false idea about life, they told lies and they implied there were endings when in reality there were no endings, everything just went on and on and on.”
― Kate Atkinson, Case Histories

Oscar Wilde
“Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.”
― Oscar Wilde

David Whyte
“Sometimes, you need the ocean light,
and colors you’ve never seen before
painted through an evening sky.

Sometimes you need your God
to be a simple invitation
not a telling word of wisdom.

Sometimes you need only the first shyness
that comes from being shown things
far beyond your understanding,

so that you can fly and become free
by being still and by being still here.

And then there are times you want to be
brought to ground by touch
and touch alone.

To know those arms around you
and to make your home in the world
just by being wanted.

To see eyes looking back at you,
as eyes should see you at last,

seeing you, as you always wanted to be seen,
seeing you, as you yourself
had always wanted to see the world.”
― David Whyte, Pilgrim
