WOW. i absolutely devoured this novel - it truly is one of the most gorgeous pieces of writing i have ever read!
“holding tinna like this makes me feel strange and new. it makes me think of all the words that have grown over me like hedges or weeds. among them, one that's harder and older than any other in the world: mother”
the rise and fall of a relationship forged out of intense desire and the quiet, darkened rooms where the sounds of sea finally start to slowly fade. the years drift by lazily, samsa and boulder safely tucked into their cocoon until the chasms start to form, rocky and deep, out of which beautiful tinna is formed.
i loved boulder’s journey with motherhood (living for wednesdays! the bike rides! the pool! the ducks!) but it was so devastating to watch her love for tinna grow while her relationship with samsa flickered away like a dying ember.
THE FINAL 5 PAGES??? i’ll never be the same !!
