The Island Girls Quotes

“Everyone leaves. Orla had said it to her once, after their mam had died. You love with all your heart, and then they leave you. Mammy, Orla. Emer couldn’t fall into her love for Lars because if he left her too, forever, it would destroy her, and she’d never get back up. At least now, she was clinging on by a thread. Susannah, an old dying lady, was her lifeline.”
