“I couldn’t explain it, not even to myself, but books gave me an unflinching sense of stability and groundedness. That because words survived, somehow I would too.”
― Evie Woods, The Lost Bookshop

“It was funny, she thought, how many relationships one could have with the same man, over the course of a lifetime together.”
― Liz Moore, The God of the Woods

“Part of grief's tyranny is that it robs you of remembering the things that matter.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief

“Yet ‘people mourn differently’ is easy for the intellect to absorb, but for the heart it is much harder. I come to dread the Zoom calls, shrouded in shadow. The family shape is changed forever, and nothing makes it more poignant than to slide on my phone screen and no longer see the square with the word ‘Dad'.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief
