Jenny’s Notes & Highlights

Love in the Time of Bertie (44 Scotland Street, #15) by Alexander McCall Smith

5 notes & 10 highlights

Jenny’s Quotes

“Each twisted preference designed to destabilise my sense of identity, to shape me into the wife he wanted me to be: compliant and isolated, uncertain and dependent. A wife who mirrored his interests, as though he were Pygmalion and I Galatea, carved from ivory, every sweep of my desires a product of his creation. A woman who didn’t dare leave the house for too long in case I missed his calls: those regular daily interactions designed to keep me at home, entirely reliant on him.”
― Hannah Beckerman, The Forgetting

“Every time I consider myself an adult, I think back five years to when I also thought of myself as an adult. And I’m aghast at how staggeringly blind I was. Maybe what I hold to be true right now will seem just as ignorant when I reflect back on it years from now.”
― Gregg Andrew Hurwitz, Prodigal Son

“She had used all the tricks in the book to encourage him, to convince him, to cajole him into looking after himself. But it turned out that, all along, the only real motivation he needed to change was to start having sex with her mum. You have to be so careful what you wish for.”
― Richard Osman, The Man Who Died Twice

“The woman didn’t close her curtains?’ Banks commented. ‘Surely that was asking for it in a way?’ Jenny shot him a cold glance. ‘We’ve already been through that.’ ‘And I did say that women should be careful not to appear to be inviting men to sex.”

“He lifted one tentative hand to cradle her face and watched her eyes darken. Another hand turned her, lifted her face to bestow the gentlest of kisses. As her hands lifted to frame his face, tracing the rough stubble she found there, she felt his momentary shock and it made her reckless. Her fingers arrowed into his black hair to pull him closer, urging him to go on. There was a battle waging inside him. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he felt the desperation in the kiss, could still taste the salty tears on her skin.”
― L.J. Ross, Holy Island
