“A running person can’t look around.”
Another beautiful story where not a whole lot happens. It’s the kind of book where you don’t get any answers as to why the thing happened, because that’s not the point. Rather, it’s understanding how a character exists and creates purpose throughout the thing that happened and how it is interpreted from the inside.
I am once again reminded that women are the ones who will choose to live with the ecosystem they’re put into, and have no choice but to find resilience when man tries to take it away.
I will never forget the way this book made me feel.
