I’m reading Martyr! now. I’m trying to read slowly, even though I want to race through it, the writing is so good, so simple yet complex. I don’t reread books, but perhaps this is a book that requires a second (or third) read?!?!
Yes!! It is definitely one of those books. I am actually rereading it right now (though very very slowly) and it's so wonderful to get to experience it in a different way.
I'm sending so much love your way. Bottomless sadness is the exact feeling I'm having as well, and you perfectly put it into words. Continue to be gentle with yourself (a reminder to myself, as well), and somehow, I hope, we will get through this terrible time.
“This half-awake thought that maybe we should be striving to become more legible to each other.” My heart breaks with yours and I felt a spark when I read this line. I too have found both reading and writing to be difficult this week. Take care.
I just read your post about it and martyrs and really deeply appreciated your thoughts and perspective. Thank you for those words and insights. I could talk about this book all day because it feels continually and painfully relevant. 💙💙💙 to you.
Wow ‘The Woman’s House of Detention’ sounds amazing! I’m glad you had a wonderful holiday and an opportunity to detox from all the noise. The world feels very heavy right now. Take care 🩵
it’s so nice to see someone reading my book out in the wild! (Ecologia is mine 💜) hope you enjoy it
I enjoyed it so much!

I’ll take your advice and definitely re-read it once I’m finished!
