Longhouse Quotes By Carole McDonnell

Psal had not thought of all that. He would think of it all night. The loveliest woman from the defeated Peacock longhouse would be his. Yet he did not want her.

All night, the Lesser Light flickered and Psal often found himself holding his breath. — Carole McDonnell

Longhouse Quotes By Michael Chabon

The sight of the Longhouse breaks some small, as yet unbroken facet of Landman's heart. All of the things they made, during their minute in this corner of the map, dissolved in brambles of salmonberry and oblivion. — Michael Chabon
