The Birdcage Quotes

“After Gemma died, Flora couldn’t bear to think of the cleaner who scooped their carelessly discarded bikinis from the floor. The mother who must have been engulfed in grief. Nor did she dare think of Pete, who’d lost a sister. Lauren’s breakdown – although no adult ever named it, fearful it would be catching among teen girls, like suicide or anorexia – was a warning of what happened if you dwelled on dead people rather than parties, festivals and boyfriends. Grief was gluey and dangerous. You could get stuck in it.”
