“Alice never got caught up in the sermons, she always loved the songs. The way music filled the hall, bouncing off the glass and stone, liked the fact that their family sat together, and all the memories she has of those moments are nice ones, which is probably why they didn’t stick.”

“Dad’s happiness and her sister’s hurt go hand in hand, or worse, that they are angled at each other, like pistols, or blades, and all she can do is put herself between them”

“Alice gets it now. Why her sister was always breaking things.
Because rage shatters out, not in.”

“She is used to wanting plenty, but it is another thing to be wanted”

“ Nothing fits, even if it’s fitted, because it’s not really about the size of the body or how it fills the clothes, but how much space it takes up in the world.”

“And how is a miracle different from a spell? Who is to say the saint was not a witch?”

“He was American, not stupid.”
