“. . . forgive me
If you are not living
if you, my beloved, my love
if you
have died,
all the leaves will fall on my breast
it will rain upon my soul night and day
the snow will burn my heart,
I shall walk with cold and fire and death and snow
my feet will want to march toward where you sleep,
but
I shall go on living . . .”
― The True and Outstanding Adventures of the Hunt Sisters

my feet will want to march toward where you sleep,
but
I shall go on living . . .”

"Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine," by Gail Honeyman, is an amazing debut novel. It's a gripping journey which combines mystery with an unusual love story. You may need to "hang in there" and give it a chance. But it's worth the effort.
