Book cover for We Live Here Now
“Houses are funny like that, aren’t they? Made new by new owners. All the history wiped away. Sometimes I wonder how much the buildings remember though. In the bricks, you know what I mean? Something must soak in. All those lives.”

“Isn’t love a form of hope?’ I said. ‘No. Love is crushing. Love is something you let yourself feel at your own peril”
Lily King, Heart the Lover

“You knew I'd write a book about you someday. You said once that I'd dredged up the whole hit parade minus you. I'll never know how you'd tell it. For me it begins here. Like this.”
Lily King, Heart the Lover

Virginia      Evans
“There is an articulation of life one hears again and again. People will say, ‘oh, this is only a season.’ You know what I am referring to, don’t you? I mean how if someone is in difficulty they’ll say ‘it’s only a season.’ Or if someone is having a new baby and in the sleepless nights, an older woman will comfort with this idea that the expanse of time is a season—a winter, I suppose? (rather, a hurricane season!)—and the season will change eventually to something sunnier. I take issue with this. There are, by definition, four seasons that repeat in measured pattern year after year. As there is no such rhythm in the human life, I have to think that when it comes to seasons we all get one round. We are born and grow through childhood in spring. We live those glorious, lively, interesting years of our twenties, thirties, forties in summer. We settle into ourselves in autumn, that cool but not yet cold time, rich and aromatic. And in winter we age (brutally) and die. One turn of the seasons per person, unless it’s cut short, like it was for Gill, and like it was for Quintana Roo. I suppose, on this schedule, we’d say your John had made it to fall. My mother died in her summer.”
Virginia Evans, The Correspondent

“Haven’t you noticed by now? Just because something’s impossible doesn’t mean it’s not real.”
Nat Cassidy, When the Wolf Comes Home

“Some lessons can only be taught by regret.”
