Book cover for Kingmaker: Pamela Harriman's Astonishing Life of Power, Seduction, and Intrigue
Perhaps only against the background of today’s perilous tensions between West and East—and the bloody invasion of Ukraine—can we begin to register the sacrifices of a twenty-year-old woman hell-bent on waging war against tyranny.

“only a handful of people who profess to have had a happy childhood; all the rest are survivors, everyone was given either too much or too little, life is always a long journey of healing from childhood.”
Hila Blum, How to Love Your Daughter

Terri Parlato
“That’s the worst thing about death: you want to tell your loved one things, both trivial and life-altering. You start to form in your mind what you’re going to say, anticipate his or her reaction, feel that warm glow of experiences shared between you. Death severs that most primal connection, and that leaves maybe the biggest hole of all. Still,”
Terri Parlato, All the Dark Places

“It was summer and it was hot, there was a great deal of sun in the sky and a great deal of sun in my life.”
Hila Blum, How to Love Your Daughter

Оксана Забужко
“Дитина — вона ж відчуває так само, як дорослі, тільки пояснити того не вміє. Ніби мені відкрилися нараз усі ті "секрети", що ми наробили, а потім покинули й ніколи більше до них не навідувалися, — як вони всі й далі лежать там, у землі. Всі наші запечатані дружби, сльози, клятви… Наші маленькі життя, накриті скельцями, — як експонати у мами в музеї. Такий величезний музей покинутих "секретів". А люди по ньому ходять — і навіть не здогадуються, що він там, у них під ногами…”
Оксана Забужко, The Museum of Abandoned Secrets

Sally Rooney
“If you weren't my friend I wouldn't know who I was, she said.”
Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You
