Re-reading this gem of a book

“It’s funny how mortals always picture us [devils] as putting things into their minds: in reality our best work is done by keeping things out”

“A man writes to seperate himself from the common history. A woman writes to try join it.”

So beautifully written, a delight to read. For example this: “But she had to work up to it [telling a story], like a wave you can see coming from far out. First, she said, she had to find her story breath, which isn’t the same as her living one”

On healing from trauma as HSP: “In the first twenty years we are given our curriculum. In the next twenty, we study it.”

Stephen King is always a comfort read 😊

“Her eldest children…aged nineteen and twenty respectively, but for whom the word ‘children’ is not inaccurate at the point at which we discover them…”
Starting off witty!
