| Wasn’t sure what to expect but ended up really loving this book and wanting to spend more time with Mozart, plants, bookstores and am feeling good as a result. Really grew to like the three clowns/ crowns too. | |

“As Aunty Lee always said, you can’t cut out bad memories without removing part of your heart, but you can always create good memories to override them.”

“I had seen enough of Western courtship rituals to know European families did little to identify, research and arrange suitable marriages. Instead, to catch the attention of potential partners, Western males had to resort to shows of strength, aggression and virility, rather like wild boars in the mating season, and Western females had to decorate themselves and their homes, like bower birds.”

“As far as Aunty Lee was concerned, people ought to go through the ideas they carried around in their heads as regularly as they turned out their store cupboards. No matter how wisely you shopped, there would be things in the depths that were past their expiration dates or gone damp and moldy---or that has been picked up on impulse and were no longer relevant. Aunty Lee believed everything inside a head or cupboard could affect everything else in it by going bad or just taking up more space than it was worth.”
