"“but in the end there was grim assent: ‘The lass had only herself to blame.’ The subject lost its appeal and was closed in favour of the living, who offer continuous material for persecution.”
Incredible. This book has been compared to Shirley Jackson’s We Have Always Lived in the Castle, and while I wasn’t too fond of Jackson’s, I’m looking forward to reading this." — Mar 15, 2026 03:21AM

“PIPPIN: I didn't think it would end this way.
GANDALF: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.
PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what?
GANDALF: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
PIPPIN: Well, that isn't so bad.
GANDALF: No. No, it isn't.”
― The Lord of the Rings
