“She had held a pear in her hand and she had eaten it skin and all. She had eaten the stem and she had eaten its seeds and she had eaten its core, and the hunger still sat in her like an open maw.

― Yael van der Wouden, The Safekeep

“But here is the nature of life. That we must love things with our whole selves, knowing they will die.”

“She belonged to the house in the sense that she had nothing else, no other life than the house, but the house, by itself, did not belong to her.”
― Yael van der Wouden, The Safekeep
