Depressing Quote of the Day (10/03/23)
“For a few moments, there was nothing but the sound of me smothering my sobs into a napkin. I was suddenly so tired. I wanted Mamma there to put her arms around me. I wanted Jane - the old Jane, who didn’t look at me with that little crease of disappointment. Lizzy even, the old Lizzy, who might scold me up and down in private but would have delicately filleted anyone who insulted me.” - Melinda Taub, “The Scandalous Confessions of Lydia Bennet, Witch”
ALSO: I’ll be hosting a launch event TODAY for Melinda’s new book. The very one quoted above! It’s on TODAY (October 3rd) at 6:30 at Barnes & Noble in New York. Details here!
