Just ran out of listening hours for the month 💔💔

“It is then that I talk to you the most, that I go downstairs late at night and stand before ‘Willem Listening to Jude Tell a Story’, which now hangs above our dining-room table […] But you only smile, not at me but just past me, and you never have an answer.“

“He has the sense that if he says his name, then the face in the painting will turn toward him and answer; he has the sense that if he stretches his hand out and strokes the canvas, he will feel beneath his fingertips his hair, his fringe of eyelashes.”

Just got to that part and I’m so angry it’s so unfair 💔💔💔

Already crying and still over 100 pages to go

“Wasn't this house, this beauty, this comfort, this life a miracle? And so who could blame him for hoping for one more […] that even with all that Jude had overcome, he might overcome just one more thing?”

It took me a year to read the first third of it lmao but I can’t put it down now it definitely took a turn and got way more engaging about halfway through! I’m so scared for Judy my baby😭😭
