Book cover for Pearl
Even though the past is folded over and over like puff pastry and my mother, of all people, would understand just how I am wrapped up in its layers and cannot find my way out.

“Who is he?" I ask, impressed by the strength in my voice.

"I've no idea," he says, blowing smoke into the wind. "I'd call him the devil if I thought this place anything so mundane as hell.”
Stuart Turton, The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

“His hatred is viscous, it has texture. I could wring it out of the air and bottle it.”
Stuart Turton, The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

“They tried to bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds.”

Chandler Baker
“We never understood the tendency to underestimate us, we who had been baptized and delivered through pain, who grinned and bore agonies while managing to draw on wing-tipped eyeliner with a surgically steady hand. We plucked our eyebrows, waxed our upper lips, got razor burn on our crotches, held blades to the cups of our armpits. Shoes tore holes in the skin of our heels and crippled the balls of our feet. We endured labor and childbirth and C-sections, during which doctors literally set our intestines on a table next to our bodies while we were awake. We got acid facials. We punctured our foreheads with Botox and filled our lips and our breasts. We pierced our ears and wore pants that were too tight. We got too much sun. We punished our bodies in spin class. All these tiny sacrifices to make us appear more lithe and ladylike—the female of the species. The weaker sex. Secretly, they toughened our hides, sharpened our edges. We were tougher than we looked. The only difference was that now we were finally letting on.”
Chandler Baker, Whisper Network
