Sunday Sentence: The Orchardist

July 21, 2013

Sunday Sentence: The best sentence(s) from this week, out of context and without commentary. Inspired by David Abrams at The Quivering Pen.

The Orchardist
Harper Perennial, paperback release March 2013

 

Where some women yearned for mere privacy, she yearned for complete solitude that verged on the violent; solitude that forced you constantly back upon yourself, even when you did not want it anymore. – The Orchardist by Amanda Coplin
