The Bird King, G. Willow Wilson

ID / She knew now what parts of her persisted when the things that didn't matter were stripped away: the embroidered slippers, the quiet routines, the room in which she slept, her few possessions. Those were not her; they formed no integral part of her personality, though they had defined her for so many years. What remained was slight but strong, and what remained, believed. / END ID

#this book kind of defies summary but i can't recommend it enough #the relationships‚ the magic of the universe‚ the hard-earned self discovery... all so good #the things hassan (a gay man) and fatima (a concubine) say to one another have 99% of romance novels beat #their love is so pure and emotional and central to who they are. the absolute platonic ideal #anyway! enough rambling!!#the bird king #g. willow wilson #quotes #words
