Une Si Longue Lettre by Mariama Bâ

trixieluvr's review against another edition

5.0

"And also, one is a mother in order to understand the inexplicable. One is a mother to lighten the darkness. One is a mother to shield when lightning streaks the night, when thunder shatters the earth, when mud bogs one down. One is a mother in order to love without beginning or end."

My favorite passage from a fantastic book.
