Women without love lose the light in their eyes, women without love die while they are still alive.

In the air was a thick smell of wild mint, of dust, of bark burned by the sun.

Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay When you're visiting your relatives in Italy, and you have an afternoon free to yourself, you gotta catch up on some Italian litetature right? Finishing up Part 3 of Elena Farrante Neopolitan Novels. So to quote the book's narrator, I chose a bench, I read. I know these books are not to everyone's tastes, but i've decided to carry straight on through and read Part 4 immediately aftetwards - I can't handle dragging out the drama longer tjan needs be, as it gets too exhausting! #elenaferrante #neopolitannovels #thosewholeaveandthosewhostay #mybeautifulfriend #bookstagram #books #whatimreading #goodreads #bookworm #park #Italy #Favaro #parks #parklife #getoutdoors (at Favaro Veneto, Veneto, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwyg0n0ArnZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15opf6iudy2o0

Quote

I decided, enough pain. I was not the woman who breaks into pieces under the blows of abandonment and absence, who goes mad, who dies. Only a few fragments had splinted off, for the rest I was well. I was whole, whole I would remain. To those who hurt me, I react giving back in kind. I am the queen of spades, I am the wasp that stings, I am the dark serpent. I am the invulnerable animal who passes through the fire and is not burned.

Elena Farrante, The Day of Abandonment.
