Safekeeping: Some True Stories from a Life by Abigail Thomas
5.0
One of the best parts of about studying English in college is that you get to read some really good books. That, and having very few marketable skills.
Anyway the book is a collection of very short chapters about Thomas’s life. I love the mosaic effect, and how it paints a picture (and maybe not a full picture, but I don’t really need that to enjoy a story) of her life. I like how so many small moments can explain so much about a person.
And one of the best lines I’ve ever read is in here. Maybe it’s not the best ever, but when I read it my heart broke.
