“...grief is loved turned into an eternal missing. ...It can't be contained in hours or days or minutes.”
Rosamund Lupton, Sister“The gastliness of nothing. Because I was nobody's sister now.”
Rosamund Lupton, Sister“However hard and however long we love someone who has died, they can never love us back. At least that is how it feels...”
Rosamund Lupton, Sister“I wanted to make him understand that we shared the details of our lives, because they were the threads that braided us so closely together.

Rosamund Lupton“Just thinking of your laughter gives me courage. . . ”

Rosamund Lupton, Sister“I get up and pace the room, as if I can leave my guilt behind me. But it tracks me as I walk, an ugly shadow made by myself.”
Rosamund Lupton, Sister“But my lazy lack of faith, my in-vogue atheism, has taken away the safety net hanging beneath our children's lives.”
Rosamund Lupton, Afterwards“And imagine acquiring a new language and only learning the words to describe a wonderful world, refusing to know the words for a bleak one and in doing so linguistically shaping the world that you inhabit.”
