Librarian Anna

“She saw the extraordinary in the ordinary, the magic in the mundane.”
― Claire Legrand, Sawkill Girls

“The library possessed a life of its own, had become greater than Cornelius had ever intended. For these were not ordinary books the libraries kept. They were knowledge, given life. Wisdom, given voice. They sang when starlight streamed through the library's windows. They felt pain and suffered heartbreak. Sometimes they were sinister, grotesque- but so was the world outside. And that made the world no less worth fighting for, because wherever there was darkness, there was also so much light.”
― Margaret Rogerson, Sorcery of Thorns

“Girls hunger. And we’re taught, from the moment our brains can take it, that there isn’t enough food for us all.”
― Claire Legrand, Sawkill Girls

“Screw that book,” said Val. “It was written by men.” She held out her free hand to Marion. “We’re rewriting it.”
