The Ruins of Us Quotes

“A man without family was nothing. He felt the pinch of the egg-sized cavity and scratched at his chest. He would have them back in the car in a day, maybe two. Then, they would go home and let the relief make them giddy and closer than they had been before. When they awoke tomorrow, they would talk and he would listen.”
― Keija Parssinen, The Ruins of Us

“In the aftermath, their family was living under the same roof like warped puzzle pieces that once fit together.”
