Awesome! More of a character study than an actual story line, but I identified greatly with one character in particular. Many passages about this character spoke to me as well:
"Now she knew that great pain could kill you or redeem you, it just depended on you." (390)
"...she felt as if she were chasing her own long-gone shadow. There was an insult of sorts in that girl's persence, as if her every word and movement said: I am everyone you no longer are." (419)
"...she knew this was probably what tormented her so much: her children were her anchor, but also her storm." (422)
"That embrace, she thought now..., was not the question but the answer: let's go back to that morning..., let's go back there with all out luggage, let's go back there with everything we didn't know then. Fall in love with me! it had said. It was no wonder she had forgotten the main thing. Fall in love with me-it had demaded-because now you can." (423)
