So spare and unique. The narrator describes her life, both the parts of humanity that we recognize and the parts we don’t usually notice.
I’m greedy for wanting a sequel, but I know I wouldn’t really want one.
"Look at us, look at how we live. We have been deprived of everything that made us human, but we organised ourselves, I suppose in order to survive, or because, when you're human, you can't help it." (p. 52)
“Perhaps you never have time when you are alone? You only acquire it by watching it go by in others.”
