Quotes by Eman Quotah (?)

“The way she talks about family—the way everyone here does—is more foreign to Hannah than anything else. She has always had only Mama. To have dozens of people feels like a gift, a gift of love that she never expected. Because she is family, they love her. At the same time, their love is a pressure, a standard she will have to live up to.”
― Eman Quotah, Bride of the Sea
