have you ever had a book be so rich and make you feel so full that there's no room left for your words? you lose all of your vocabulary and are left with images, feelings, and you're own personal experiences that the book touched.
that's this book for me.
i read the sea knows my name over a month ago and still can't get it out of my head. its a fantasy story about pirates, and it's also an exploration of female strength and power and how those dynamics should affect relationships. it's haunting and beautiful.
heads up that there are content warnings. i really recommend reading the author's honest and vulnerable comment on goodreads before starting the book.
but please start the book, and then we can lose our words together and just silently stare at each other because we're too overwhelmed with feelings to speak with anything but our eyes.
