“I felt sorry that I had cast her beloved daffodils in a scene she had never considered, a scene of conquered and conquests...”

damn, kincaid is a genius and she knows it.

i’ve only read a chapter and i’m already crying. jesmyn ward’s writing is some of the best i’ve ever read.

the first line of the book: “the first weapon i held was my mother’s hand.”

referring to her mom: “I put my hand on her neck, feel the rush of blood there, the red river that binds her to me. I feel as I only can with her.”

LIKE WHAT??
