Book cover for What Lies in the Woods
Soon enough our friendship turned downright feral. Forbid us to see each other and we’d spit and claw and sneak out into the woods until our parents relented.

“Loving a place is the same as having a child. They are both too much an act of hope, of defiance. And those are a fool’s weapons.”
Charlotte McConaghy, Wild Dark Shore

Susanna Clarke

Susanna Clarke, Piranesi

“On the other side of the Courtyard I saw the Other looking out of a Window. The Window was tall and dark; the Other’s noble head with its high forehead and neatly trimmed beard was framed in one Corner. He was lost in thought as he so often is. I waved to him. He did not see me. I waved more extravagantly. I jumped up and down with great energy. But the Windows of the House are many and he did not see me.”
Susanna Clarke, Piranesi

“The world’s not a good place for a child.” She frowns. “That’s not true. Look around.” I do. And wonder what she can see that I can’t.”
Charlotte McConaghy, Wild Dark Shore

“So what if you could do it over? And then again? What body would you choose? Who would you be and who would you love? Would you do it over, and over, and over again?”
Sabrina Imbler, How Far the Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Sea Creatures
