Geraldine Brooks, Memorial Days

“He’s still with us through those books on our bedside tables, by the tub, in our handbags, and on our reading chairs—in our hearts, in our minds, in his words. At his best, whenever we choose to seek him out. Given the inevitability of loss, I can think of no greater consolation than that.”
Geraldine Brooks, Memorial Days

Geraldine Brooks, Memorial Days
