Millicent’s Lily-Rose – A Storyboard

There is a bench in a park where the fog settles like a curious guest, offering a gentle kiss before it lifts. Samuel used to rest his head in Lily-Rose’s lap while she read a poem, or perhaps an extract from a favorite novel.

Quotes by Jennifer Skutelsky  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“She smelled of smoke and alcohol and tired perfume and something else, something feral, like hunger at the back door of a restaurant.”

“The village of Colibrí clung to the edge of a cliff like a well-trimmed mustache.”
Jennifer Skutelsky, Grave of Hummingbirds
