“Having lost and regained her freedom in the most extraordinary circumstances over the course of her remarkable lifetime, few could have set a higher price on the value of liberty.

“When black fury meets white denial, you have the combustible and fundamentally changed race relations we live in today.”

Annie Proulx
“Quoyle experienced moments in all colors, uttered brilliancies, paid attention to the rich sound of waves counting stones, he laughed and wept, noticed sunsets, heard music in rain, said I do.”
Annie Proulx

Jessie Burton, The Muse
