Brit Bennett
“And yet, if Alphonse Decuir could have strolled through the town he’d once imagined, he would have been thrilled by the sight of his great- great- great- granddaughters. Twin girls, creamy skin, hazel eyes, wavy hair. He would have marveled at them. For the child to be a little more perfect than the parents. What could be more wonderful than that?”
Brit Bennett, The Vanishing Half

“To Stella, leaving Mallard seemed as fantastical as flying to China.”

“How much do you want?” Jonny jumped in again, his eyes settling on her, daring her to deny him one more time. This was the side of him that easily used his privilege to bully, Kemi thought. “Whatever it is, we will double it.” “You’re asking me to give up my life here. It’s not a decision I can make lightly between mouthfuls of food,” Kemi said, “no matter how nice the steak.” She held his gaze. “Of course not,” Jonny said. “But I will make that transition easy for you. Besides doubling your current pay, I will take care of everything else. Moving your stuff over, including your car. Getting you signed up for Swedish classes. I will make your move to Stockholm as painless as possible. I guarantee you, Kemi.”

“She needed balance. Her own moon that would rise and fall with her, keeping her equilibrium, loving her unconditionally.”
