Sitater fra dette verket

The worst thing about this illness isn't the things it makes me believe, or what it makes me do. It's not the control that it has over me, or even the control it's allowed other people to take.
Worse than all of that is how I have become selfish.

That's a fear when someone you love dies, isn't it? Especially if you're only young when it happens, you might worry that over time you'll stop being able to picture them properly.

We eat them, we drink them, we breathe them, we are made of them. At this precise moment each of us is exchanging our atoms with everyone else, and not just with each other, but with other animals, trees, fungi, moulds -

I felt sick a lot of the time, and once or twice I actually was sick. This was difficult for Nanny Noo too, because if she couldn't solve a problem through the stomach - like with a bowl of soup or a roasted chicken or a slice of Battenberg - she felt out of her depth. One time I spied her standing in the kitchen, hunched over the untouched dishes and sobbing.

Nanny Noo made nice food. She is one of those people who tries to feed you the moment you walk through the door, and doesn't stop trying to feed you until the moment you leave. She might even make you a quick ham sandwich for your journey.

I løpet av 2015 har jeg lest disse bøkene som jeg har plukket ut fra kriterier i en liste jeg fant her på bokelskere.no.
Disse punktene rakk jeg ikke å hake av: En bok på bunnen av leselisten din, en bok som utkom det året du ble født, en bok med dårlige kritikker, en bok fra din barndom, en bok som foregår i din hjemby.
