"and if we’re going to let him love us, that love is going to kill us. that’s what makes him so dangerous."

i adore that sentence.

"you were fucking her in our bed.
no. your bed.
i was only ever a guest, every night contingent on my good behaviour.
and magdalena was behaving for you very well."

jaw. dropped. i love that paragraph so much.

page 73 is such a beautiful passage. love the writing in this book. its poetic, artsy and gothic without it feeling overly educational or annoyingly extravagant, if that makes sense
