The Little Snake by A.L. Kennedy
4.0
4 stars. This is beautifully enchanting tale that even in my now 17 years of teenage destruction has found it like a hug and kiss in form of a book.
The only way to describe it is comparing to the feeling when I watch Studio Ghibili movies. The books is so simple but so complex that at all ages it will touch your heart.
I will leave this three highlights yo prepare for your heart to swell:
“You are the night with sunshine
You are the ocean with no shore
You are the bird that sings wine
You are the lion with no claw.
And be my honour and be mine
And be my glory and be mine
And be my living and be mine
My friend, my love, be mine.”
Excerpt From
The Little Snake
A.L. Kennedy
“They should fly kites, he thought. They should play with cats and eat ice cream and bake bread and dance with each other and sing and they should marry each other and perhaps make intelligent children who understand things, or adopt children who are orphans and have nobody for them in the world.”
Excerpt From
The Little Snake
A.L. Kennedy
“two humans devoting themselves to each other in joy and tenderness. As the days to come descended, it was something to remember. When matters became grey, or hard, or uncertain there would often be a face in this or that crowd which was smiling slightly, thinking of the girl and her boy and their dancing and the light caught in their hair.”
