Turn of the Screw. Jamie Fraser. David Foster Wallace. Shakespeare. Well-constructed sentences. Leonard Cohen. Captain Wentworth. Neruda. Hemingway. Chapter 21 of Jane Eyre. Clive Staples. Tolkien. Melina Marchetta. Big, fat Russian novels. New words. And honey in my tea.
I kind of love the way Marchetta writes. Not kind of, really. So simple, this book. No mystery, no paranormal, no fantasy. Just reality and how it feels and how it changes you. I loved it.
