Nora liked jiji's review of The Shape of the Ruins: "So, I am finished for now. I may come back to this. But for now I’ve read all I can. This is one of those books, kind of like Sophie‘s world, where you know it’s brilliant and innovative, but it’s not easy to get through. The middle section was a bit" Read more of this review »

Extraordinary. Every single page contains a description of an emotion or thought I have had and struggled to capture. Vivid, funny, heartbreaking.

Quotes by Nora Stone (?)

“A profound thanks to my partner in all things, Brandon Colvin. He is my favorite person, and the person I admire most. His faith in me is a beacon. If I need help, he is there, helping me untangle problems and express myself more clearly. If I need motivation, he is there, reminding me of my passion for research and filmmaking. If I need comfort, he is there, delighting and embracing me every single day. This book, and my life, would be much poorer without him by my side.”
