The Elegance of the Hedgehog

I did a lot of reading last week at the beach. One of the best books was a new novel called, “The Elegance of the Hedgehog” by Muriel Barbery. There were so many pages I underlined and starred in the margins. Here is one bit that felt true to love in the time of cancer:

“When illness enters a home, not only does it take hold of a body; it also weaves a dark web between hearts, a web where hope is trapped.”

Isn’t that an incredible sentence?
