Book cover for Is a River Alive?
‘If fungi were to speak,’ says Giuliana, ‘they would tell us what they show us, which is that really the death of an organism is the beginning of countless others; that there is no end to life, just a constantly shifting substrate.’

Fredrik Backman
“You miss the strangest things when you lose someone. Little things. Smiles. The way she turned over in her sleep. Even repainting a room for her.”
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

Jojo Moyes
“Real friends were the kind where you pick up where you’d left off, whether it be a week since you’d seen each other or two years.”
Jojo Moyes, One Plus One

Fredrik Backman
“We always think there's enough time to do things with other people. Time to say things to them. And then something happens and then we stand there holding on to words like 'if'.”
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

Jodi Picoult
“I think grief is like a really ugly couch. It never goes away. You can decorate around it; you can slap a doily on top of it; you can push it to the corner of the room—but eventually, you learn to live with it.”
Jodi Picoult, Leaving Time

E.E. Cummings
“deeds cannot dream what dreams can do
—time is a tree (this life one leaf)
but love is the sky and i am for you
just so long and long enough”
ee Cummings
