The Language of Trees

Photo

When I start reading a good book, I literally can't put it down.

I tend to read through the night until the book is completely

finished and the ending known. There is something within me

that does not allow myself to put a book down without

knowing the ending.

And this is how I know I found a good book. If the pages

do not grab my attention and I can easily put it to bed without

obsessing over it, then that book will never have my heart.

Last night I read The Language of Trees and I, once

again, read it until 2:30am. Here are my favorite

quotes:

"Most beautiful thing is to see hope come back into a face.

That's all she wanted.

People to believe in her without wanting anything back. People don't need

much else."

"Some foreign countries you know you have to visit, right?

And some of them you're just content to look at the pictures.

You find your country, honey. And then you pack up

and buy a one-way ticket."

"Which is the right country?" she asks, as she starts weeping again.

"The one that feels like home. The one that always has."
