“That’s how I’ll go about it. But I avoid it, first I make myself a cup of tea. My little task fills me with dread, it saps me of energy.”

اینقدر کتاب لطیف و دوست داشتنیه و اینقدر خود منه که دوست ندارم تموم بشه.
هر داستان کوتاه دو صفحه ای رو که میخونم می رم چرخ می زنم تا مزه مزه کنم و بعد برم سراغ ادامه داستان

The book carries you. Not the other way round. So many sentences that capture the whole of you, while also leaving parts of you everywhere the narrator takes you. Pair it up with a cup of tea or your go-to-beverage or maybe you could read some pages, put it down, let your thoughts take you places, and come back. Let it simmer like your favourite broth. Don't rush it through.

So captivating each thought, each mundane detail of life in the city, each exchange between the narrator and a stranger she met at her favorite trattoria, each time she goes shopping for stationary, all of it.. why is it so beautiful. Its just a quiet life in a quiet place..
