Цитаты из книги Gallant

Across the kitchen, the girls have turned to talk of love. They whisper as if it’s a secret or a stolen sweet, palmed and kept inside their cheeks. As if love is all they need. As if they have been placed under a curse and only love will set them free. She does not see the point in that: love did not save her father from illness and death. It did not save her mother from madness and loss.

To those who go looking for doors, are brave enough to open the ones they find, and sometimes bold enough to make their own.
