shelfcarecatharsis 's review for:
It Lasts Forever and Then It's Over
by Anne de Marcken
UNEXPECTEDLY HEART WRENCHING.
I was not expecting for a zombie narrative to turn out to be an exploration of grief, and the realization hit me so hard out of nowhere. I choked back tears.
A realization that when you miss something or someone, and the future you would’ve had, is also when you love them the most.
Never fully understood “What is grief? If not love persevering?” until this book.
- “…terrible. Like meeting you in another life and failing to recognize you.”
- “It is not hunger. It is grief.”
- “You always said I was inconsolable.”
- “I think our hunger is what we have instead of what we’ve lost.”
- “I was a zombie even then. Ravenous eater of a world that was already the last of its kind.”
- “I wanted to grieve while I still had the solace of you.”
A book that is sticking with me.
