Full quote from Rachel Connolly's novel, Lazy City "I look out at it all. This is a place which shows all its history, all its personality, all the time ... And it’s not just the recent history, the flags and religion and borders. It’s the mountains everywhere too. The coast, never so far away you can’t drive there in an hour, usually less, always devastating. A landscape that won’t let you forget that there was a time when all the earth would do was pull itself apart and smash itself back together, splintering one land mass into fragments and folding another back on top of itself, crushing it into ridges and valleys. It still does that, I suppose. But you only see it in hindsight."

i've never cleared a schedule more swiftly than when this sneaky little ARC was left on my doorstep. immediately ran off to the woods to read this. nothing if not dramatic.
in all seriousness, Rooney did something extraordinary in her newest novel, Intermezzo. this baby will be out in the world September 24, 2024. super grateful to FSG Books for quite literally making my summer with an advanced copy of this highly, deeply anticipated read.
