“I think, deep in the darkest hours, that even if she survives this night that ocean will have her back one day.”
Breathtaking, and heartbreaking, and beautiful, and so so bittersweet. Both sorrowful and joyful, with an incredibly strong sense of place. This book and its characters, and existentialism, and its dare to readers to survive, consumed me.
“Maybe we will drown or burn or starve one day, but until then we get to choose if we’ll add to that destruction or if we will care for each other.”
“I think I finally understand your words. It’s just a body. They hold on or they don’t. You’re right, it’s nothing to be frightened of. Mine will become the salt of this water. And every time you swim it will be me upon your skin.”
