Quote by Lily King

“I think of my mother when I'm on a plane. I think of her many places, even though she's been gone sixteen years now. She's never seen my boys, but she's helped me raise them. I know how much she loves them. I feel that.”

“Algún día, cuando hayan pasado los años y crecido mis hijos; cuando de nuevo esta casa recobre su silencio y los libros llenen todas sus paredes sin que nos digan nada; cuando no quedemos en el mundo más que tú y yo, entonces recordaremos con nostalgia este día hecho de casi nada. Este día que olvidaremos sin duda mañana mismo, porque no fue en absoluto extraordinario, sino parecido a un día como otro. Pero lleno de una dorada luz, de unos niños pequeños que gritan e interrumpen, de la ilusión de meter nuevos libros en casa, de las tareas corrientes como prepararles los baños o leerles un cuento. Lleno de ti y de mí, que nos pensamos aún llenos de tanta vida.”

“It's just past eight a.m. in Seattle, but in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Aurora's six kids are already hours into their daily chores around the historic manor house and hobby farm Aurora and her husband Will run together. Today she's in the henhouse, and she's propped me up in an empty nesting box while she gathers fresh eggs with two of my nieces. All around them I can hear the soft clucking of the brood as she and the girls gather eggs and gently tuck them into a basket she wove by hand. She's dressed in a flowing muslin peasant dress that looks vaguely like a Jane Austen-era nightgown. On her it looks strangely amazing, though. Everything does. She even somehow manages to rock the elaborate ruffle around the neck. Her flaxen hair is in two braids wrapped around her head like a crown, Heidi-style. The girls are wearing matching ruffled pinafores and pigtails. They look darling.”
