libt392 's review for:
The Girl Who Drank the Moon
by Kelly Barnhill
Poetic. Fragmented. Fantastical.
It took me about 100 pages to feel invested but it really was a beautiful read. This story captures the mystery and depth of love in all its facets.
A few favorite quotes (see my highlights for more):
“Human babies are only tiny for an instant— their growing up is as swift as the beat of a hummingbird’s wing.”
“Poetry will help. The study of language ennobles the rowdiest beast.”
“How can a child be naughty when she is studying the stars?”
“Just because you don’t see something doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Some of the most wonderful things in the world are invisible. Trusting in invisible things makes them more powerful and wondrous. You’ll see.”
