I keep thinking of Purple Hibiscus as I’m reading this (high compliment). There’s something so transportive and tender about her prose, it’s like the essence of homesickness itself.

Love this bit - “We wanted love, and to be literate in love … We wanted heartbreak, but only enough that our hearts required no worse cure than languishing in bed with a tub of ice cream … We were afraid they would love us to our deaths and that, even in our deaths, they would consume us”
