Granana doesn't understand what the big deal is. she didn't cry at olivia's funeral, and i doubt she even remembers olivia's name. granana lost, like, ninety-two million kids in childbirth. all of her brothers died in the war. she survived the depression by stealing radish bulbs from her neighbors' garden, and fishing the elms for pigeons. dad likes to remind us of this in a grave voice, as if it explained her jaundiced pitilessness: "boys. your grandmother ate pigeons."
Brother Dad War
She didn’t understand why it was happening,” he said. “i had to tell her she would die. her social worker said i had to tell her. i had to tell her she would die, so i told her she was going to heaven. she asked if i would be there, and i said that i would not, not yet. but eventually, she said, and i promised that yes, of course, very soon. and i told her that in the meantime we had great family up there that would take care of her. and she asked me when i would be there, and i told her soon. twenty-two years ago.

Eventually she came. she appeared suddenly, exactly like she'd done that day- she stepped into the sunshine, she jumped, she laughed and threw her head back, so her long ponytail nearly grazed the waistband of her jeans. after that, i couldn't think about anything else. the mole on the inside of her right elbow, like a dark blot of ink. the way she ripped her nails to shreds when she was nervous. her eyes, deep as a promise. her stomach, pale and soft and gorgeous, and the tiny dark cavity of her belly button. i nearly went crazy.

She bent her finger and then straightened it. the mystery was in the instant before it moved, the dividing moment between not moving and moving, when her intention took effect. it was like a wave breaking. if she could only find herself at the crest, she thought, she might find the secret of herself, that part of her that was really in charge. she brought her forefinger closer to her face and stared at it, urging it to move. it remained still because she was pretending... . and when she did crook it finally, the action seemed to start in the finger itself, not in some part of her mind.

I'm very proud of my sister and protective of her. solange is the one person i will fight for. don't talk about my sister; don't play with me about my sister. if you do, you'll see another side of me. i admire her, and though she's five years younger than me, i strive to be like her. she's so smart and secure. she's sensitive to people's feelings, but not afraid of what they think.

I love the complication of the kids in the characters' lives. i love that these two people are very capable in all these ways. they're so trained. they're kind of deadly. they're smart and vicious at times, but i love that they're undone by a teenager, like we all are. we're all incensed and undone by the ungratefulness of a child, and i love that it matters so greatly to them, in a way that it matters to every parent. teenagers are going to do that no matter where you live or who you are.

All i'm telling you to do is to be smart about it. know that if this man isn't looking for a serious relationship, you're not going to change his mind just because you two are going on dates and being intimate. you could be the most perfect woman on the lord's green earth-you're capable of interesting conversation, you cook a mean breakfast, you hand out backrubs like sandwiches, you're independent (which means, to him, that you're not going to be in his pockets)-but if he's not ready for a serious relationship, he going to treat you like sports fish.
