“A family man, doing his duty. No one ever spoke of a family woman, Pen thought. The phrase sounded ridiculous.”
Emma Knight, The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus

“He must have thought she was too young to remember. But children remember everything. It’s adults who forget.”
Emma Knight, The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus

“The mother who insists on keeping that inner self of hers alive is monstrous. No one blinks when a father continues devoting himself to whatever it is he most wants to accomplish in this world. But a wife and mother who has priorities of her own and refuses to put them last? Hers becomes a life of conflict, between who she is and what is expected of her. Society deems her selfish and unnatural. If she lets herself believe it, she’s doomed, and so are her children.”
Emma Knight, The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus
