quotes

from Kathleen Cambor's In Sunlight, In a Beautiful Garden: A Novel.

"He wished she knew how many sacrifices he had made. And even though he felt petty and unworthy when the thought occurred to him, he wished she could be grateful." (126)

"'I would have preferred raised stones as markers... I imagined something upright, tall, with chiseled angels rising from it. I wanted a carved elaborate script to spell their names, a poem or a prayer carved into marble. I wanted a building built. A mausoleum... I wanted something as magnificent as grief." (213)
