cannot put this book down tbh

this chapter!!! I have no words

“Now I can look at things again because she’s here to see them too” she’s giving herself permission to exist in her present

Thin love ain’t love at all

Tough previous chapter

“You gotta love it, you!” Baby Suggs, holy, truly giving me goosebumps on this page

“On a riverbank in the cool of a summer evening two women struggled under a shower of silvery blue” Her prose is so freaking stunning and poetic and spellbinding

“It’s gonna hurt now, […] anything dead coming back to life hurts.”
