“A large mango tree shaded the eastern corner of the house from the sharp morning sun, its long, leafy branches swaying over the old, red, clay-tiled roof. The smell of wood and camphor hung in the air.”

“Vanua is the land and you and your clan belong to, but it's more than that. It's the people who live there now and those who have lived there before. It's the traditions they've had and the songs they've sung. What they believed in and what they loved, the togetherness and the memories. The joy over babies who are born and the grief over those who have died.”

“Retrouver l'appartement au retour de vacances est délicieux : il pue un peu, il sent notre famille et c'est une odeur si rassurante, on ne la sent comme ça si concentrée qu'une fois par an, les fenêtres sont restées fermées, les odeurs de cuisine ont eu le temps de s'évaporer totalement, et il ne subsiste plus qu'un parfum très dense qui mêle le bois des meubles, leur vernis, une très légère décomposition des rideaux et des dessus de lit, un effritement imperceptible de la peinture des murs. Je me précipite dans ma chambre pour vérifier que tout est là : je redeviens son propriétaire. J'ouvre un tiroir où une partie de la fameuse odeur est encore plus concentrée : j'y prends mon album de timbres.”

“It was weird. Just a few weeks away from home could rub the familiarity right off someone. I felt like she was on the path to being someone I wasn’t quite sure of. I felt, weirdly, as if I were being left behind.”

“Home, I whispered. is where the river flows humming through the willows. Home is milkweed in your hair, with hemlock moss your pillows. Home, if you could only know, is anyplace I see you --- it's in your heart and from the start I've known my home would be you. FROM BOOK _ZAZOO_ , p.21, Chapter 3”
