Pew by Catherine Lacey

05/12/24 4.25/5 stars. Very thoughtful and mesmerizing. I thoroughly enjoyed the insight from the narrator’s eyes of the other outsiders in this town. There was a real sense of quiet and calm in certain aspects.
I must have had a mother, but I also knew I didn’t have a mother. I wasn’t anyone’s son or daughter. What a freedom that was and what a burden that was—to not have a home to go to, and to not have a home to go home to.
26-27
Well. It’s overrated, family. You’re lucky if you get born into one where you belong. It’s really a lot more rare than people want to say.
