Annie Meek’s Reviews > Persephone's Curse > Status Update

“The one sister who always played it safe, who hadn’t had to make any sacrifices because I had never taken any risks, because you can’t get burned if you stay as far away from the fire as you could.”

oh my winnie, we are one and the same

“And in the end it wasn’t an incantation or a ritual or a big dramatic bloodletting—it was a quiet offering, a meditation, a promise that you were willing to give up the thing you most loved to get something even greater, to go somewhere greater (or, in our case, to call someone home).
And Clara gave up her painting.”

“Dressed in black sitting in the middle of a graveyard in the dead of winter, in the dead of night, thinking about death. This was dramatic even by Farthing sister standards.”

“Just as Persephone had the power to usher in the spring, to breathe new life into roots still and dormant, so might her descendants have powers of their own. The power to paint, perhaps. The power to make beautiful music. The power to see ghosts. The power to command them, the power to banish them …” hmm!!

“It was just the five of us, all back together again: girl, girl, girl, girl, ghost.”
