She gravitates towards books that pulse quietly; works where grief seeps through the cracks, where longing is folded into mundane moments. Where the extraordinary hides inside a teacup, a bruise, a silence. Her shelves are lined with characters who ache beautifully, women who disappear to survive or survive by disappearing. She reads for atmosphere, for emotional resonance, for sentences that echo like memories. Tenderly political, quietly wounded, and always, always searching for something unnamed and almost holy.
