Lie with Me by Philippe Besson
4.0
Thoughtful and melancholic quick read. Really enjoyed.
"I tell myself that pleasing him was just an illusion, and that pleasure itself lasts only as long as an embrace in a closet."
"...above all that a place is not a question of topography but rather the way that we describe it - not a photograph but an impression."
"And the feeling of never quite belonging, of being a person uprooted, as if, maybe, who knows, a sense of not belonging is something one inherits."
