A Reaper at the Gates (An Ember in the Ashes, #3)

by Sabaa Tahir

Curse this world for what it does to the mothers, for what it does to the daughters. Curse it for making us strong through loss and pain, our hearts torn from our chests again and again. Curse it for forcing us to endure.

Such an apt characterisation of the feminine condition

We are, all of us, just visitors in each other’s lives.
