Kindle Notes & Highlights
The ways of the Lord are forever mysterious to us!
It is not always possible to please two white people simultaneously.
Amor is thirteen years old, history has not yet trod on her.
she likes the feeling of being between two places, recently departed and not yet arrived.
What used to seem blank and stupid in her, almost like brain damage, now seems like the opposite, silence and attentiveness, a kind of intelligence. She’s somebody you can tell things to.
No character in a novel ever does what he’s doing now, i.e. pulls his buttocks apart the better to blurt out his distress.
They’ve got wise to their rights and have been demanding extra pay for holidays, though what they really want is to stay at home and get falling-down drunk. Same as me.
Eaten too much childhood, thanks, I’m full.
