Quotes by Jennie Rooney (?)

“I was so nearly happy. There remained only a tiny something, something unexplained and inexplicable that buzzed in my ear when the lights were out, like a malarial mosquito.”
― Jennie Rooney, Inside the Whale

“The war is over and most people have lost someone, but until this moment she has never known the wash of emptiness that comes from such finality. To know that she will never speak to him again, never hear his voice or know his thoughts or bury her head in his chest as she used to when she was a child. This knowledge provokes in her the odd sensation that she is disintegrating, that her grief is pooling away into a great ocean of shared sadness.

And now what? she thinks. What happens now?”
― Jennie Rooney, Red Joan
