I picked this up based on it having a teapot on the cover. As good a basis to pick a read as any, and a winning strategy in this case, I loved this book! It starts highly confusingly, and I did struggle a bit in the first 50 pages, but then I recheck ...more

Beautiful writing, engaging characters and setting, utter disaster of the last part of the book. I have a pet peeve about books that finish halfway through the story arc, as this one does, so that was never going to go well. But the climactic scenes ...more

Cori’s Quotes

“Little houses, bigger ones, scrolled and capacious porches, dark windows, leaves of trees already rich with May, homes of rooms which chambered sleep as honey is cherished, drifted past their slow walking and were left behind, and not a light in any home.”
― James Agee, A Death in the Family

“Close, close all night
the lovers keep.
They turn together
in their sleep,

Close as two pages
in a book
that read each other
in the dark.

Each knows all
the other knows,
learned by heart
from head to toes.”
― Elizabeth Bishop, Edgar Allan Poe & The Juke-Box: Uncollected Poems, Drafts, and Fragments
