Quote by Tessa Hulls

“She thought if she could get us out of China, we'd be safe. But she couldn't outrun her mental illness. It was waiting to devour us. She always was a drowning woman trying desperately to throw me on the shore so I would not drown with her.”

“She wants to tell her children to stop arguing. The past doesn't matter anymore; they all did what they had to in order to live. She wants to tell them what matters most is family- it is the only thing that matters, the only way to make a home. They alone will remember Haiwen when she is gone. They alone will remember their father, and soon, her. She wants to tell them people only die when there is no one left to remember them, but if they hold each other tightly, they can keep all the ghosts of their family alive.”

“Daisy thought of Artemis’s cottage, the Roost, perched at the top of a beech tree in the heart of Mallowmarsh—much smaller than the Root Trees of Amazeria, and infinitely cozier. She thought of the warm kitchen, and Miss Tufton making scones for tea, and her little attic room with the round window that looked out over the green lawns and sparkling glasshouses. She was filled with a wave of longing so powerful that it almost overwhelmed her. “We can really live at Mallowmarsh?” she asked, feeling a sort of bittersweet explosion in her chest. “Together?” “Yes,” said Ma.”
