“Never before had she considered that all these experiences that had nearly demolished her had built her into something better.”
Clare Chambers, Small Pleasures

“The journey into love was so effortless and graceful; the journey out such a long and laboured climb”
Clare Chambers, Small Pleasures

“Previous experience taught her that the pain would not be unending - but neither would it subside smoothly, incrementally, but rather in a series of crashing waves, some of which might still knock her off her feet”
Clare Chambers, Small Pleasures
