Yaa Gyasi Quotes

Esi Stared At Her Mother Then, And It Was As Though She Were Seeing Her For The First Time. Maame Was Not A Whole Woman. There Were Large Swaths Of Her Spirit Missing, And No Matter How Much She Loved Esi, And No Matter How Much Esi Loved Her, They Both Knew In That Moment That Love Could Never Return What Maame Had Lost. And Esi Knew, Too, That Her Mother Would Die Rather Than Run Into The Woods Ever Again, Die Before Capture, Die Even If It Meant That In Her Dying, Esi Would Inherit That Unspeakable Sense Of Loss, Learn What It Meant To Be Un-whole.
