“Before it snatches Mariam from the garden of her memory like a weed pulled by its roots” (409) okay so yeah just freaking run me over already…

All this book does is hurt me. SO BADLY STILL OH MY GOODNESS

Okay so nobody talk to me about pg 401 I’m literally bawling my eyes out. Wdym “in the end, will be her undoing and Laila’s salvation” (401) WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!!!!!!

“But mostly with weeds, some stunted, some springing impudently halfway up the walls” (400). AHHHHH

“This is was a legitimate end to a life of illegitimate beginnings” (370).

“It does not frighten me to leave this life that my only son left five years ago, this life that insists we bear sorrow upon sorrow long after we can bear no more. No, I believe I shall gladly take my leave when the time comes” (365).

“‘You should be,’ Mariam said. ‘You should be sorry.’” (226) THE TRAUMA RUNS SO DEEP HOLY 💔💔 someone save these girls.. wdym theyre going against one another’s struggles rather than helping each other oml im going to cry so hard rn
