“I no longer fear Death, though I know that I should. I'm strangely at peace with what I used to think of as my enemy. Living seems more the taskmaster of the two, doesn't it? Life is wonderful and beautiful but oh, how hard it can be. Dying, by contrast, is easy and simple, almost gentle."
A decent quote, and the only one I came away from this book liking. Not amazing, or all that original, much like the book in its entirety.
I hate feeling like I've wasted my time on a book and I definitely felt that way with this one. I didn't hate it, but honestly hate is preferable to feeling "meh" about a book because I usually have more to write about. I think the book's biggest downfall is its main characters; Pauline and her three daughters just felt so one-dimensional to me. I wasn't able to connect with any of them.
