“A breath of sound across the landing, almost imperceptible, like a shadow moving against blackness; then nothing.”

“There is no hard and fast line that can be drawn that says: Up to here there was no love; from here on there is now love. Love is a gradual thing, it may take a moment, a month, or a year to come on, and in each two its gradations are different. With some it comes fast, with some it comes slowly. Sometimes one kindles from the other, sometimes both kindle spontaneously. And once in a tragic while one kindles only after the other has already dimmed and gone out, and has to burn forlornly alone.

“Today Henry would be running a banana republic with serious border issues and a dodgy nuclear-weapons program.”
― Tana French, The Likeness
