Chapter 39 was so uniquely comforting. It transports you into Violet’s kitchen where all the cemetery guys are just talking to and over each other. At first it is hectic to try to track the different conversations, but it flows since it is such a natural depiction of what a group of great friends looks like - it’s makes you so happy for Violet to have that life in her house.

Some awesome quotes by Sasha:
"Autumn is a lullaby for the life that will return" (pg. 357).
"The past isn't as fertile as the [manure] I spread on the ground. It's more like quicklime. That poison that burns stumps. Yes, Violette, the past poisons the now. Forever turning things over means dying a little" (pg. 358).

“Look how beautiful it is today, every day I’m intoxicated by the world’s beauty. Of course, there’s death, grief, bad weather, All Saints’ Day, but life always gets over it. There’s always a morning when the light’s beautiful, when the grass sprouts again from the scorched earth” (pg. 304).

Right now in the book it is flipping from the past, where you learn and try to understand Violet’s greatest loss, to the present where you wonder how she was ever able to keep going.

“I talk on my own. I talk to the dead, to the cats, to the lizards, to the flowers, to God (not always nicely). I talk to myself. I question myself. I shout at myself. I buck myself up” (pg. 76)

"Once the gates have been shut, time belongs to me. I'm its sole owner. It's a luxury to be the owner of one's time. I think it's one of the greatest luxuries human beings can afford themselves" (pg. 49).
