  1. Isabel Allende _ La suma de los días

    السنون تمضي بتكتم على رؤوس أصابعها ساخرةً بصوتٍ هامس وفجأةً ترعبنا في المرآة تضرب فجأة ركبنا أو تغمد خنجراً في ظهرنا الشيخوخة تهاجمنا يوماً بعد يوم لكنها تتكشف بوضوح مع إكتمال كل عقد

  2. Jodi Picoult _ My Sister's Keeper

    When you have been with your partner for so many years, they become the glove compartment map that you've worn dog-eared and white-creased, the trail you recogonize so well you could draw it by heart and for this very reason keep it with you on journeys at all times. And yet, when you least expect it, one day you open your eyes and there is an unfamiliar turnoff, a vantage point taht wasn't there before, and you have to stop and wonder if maybe this landmark isn't new at all, but rather something you have missed all along.

  4. Nora Roberts _ Key of Knowledge

    It was a mistake to think of houses, old houses, as being empty. They were filled with memories, with the faded echoes of voices. Drops of tears, drops of blood, the ring of laughter, the edge of tempers that had ebbed and flowed between the walls, into the walls, over the years.Wasn't it, after all, a kind of life?And there were houses, he knew it, that breathed. They carried in their wood and stone, their brick and mortar a kind of ego that was nearly, very nearly, human.

  8. Jhumpa Lahiri _ Unaccustomed Earth

    But death, too, had the power to awe, she knew this now-that a human being could be alive for years and years, thinking and breathing and eating, full of a million worries and feelings and thoughts, taking up space in the world, and then, in an instant, become absent, invisible.
