The Hills of the Tigers Quotes

“I had good reasons for floundering around just then. You see, I’d received a phone call six months before from the mother of a man I wanted to marry saying that enemy guns had shot down a plane he was flying over northern Kulon. His mother and I waited, made phone calls, wrote letters, and never learned what happened to him.
I hoped and cried out, trudged through deep valleys. Time passed and benefits accrued, not least that I could imagine how other confused, grieving people coped.”
― Richard French, The Hills of the Tigers
