Such a good, complicated book. I shall come back to it, armed with a pen and a notebook.

My fave quotes (of many!):

She had a willful and hectic happiness with which she was determined to conquer the world.

Hope, stubborn and bitter to the taste. That hides water. That bears the drought. An ugly plant with the power to heal.
