About a woman, and a guy who visits her. They talk about a dead Jewish girl in a white dress. And then there's a boy and girl who love each other. It's autobiographical but you can't tell where the author ends and where the other begins. Feels like nothing else matters when you can yearn the way this text does.

In all seriousness there’s my life before this book and my life after this book.
So shamelessly focused on interior, domestic and the mundane but written in the most extraordinary prose style which worships at the shrine of the beauty of words. One of the best opening pages of all time (gonna post on here later) and completely changed my outlook on my own writing.
Also trivia, Leduc was a real writers writer and championed by the greats of her day, Cocteau, Genet and de Beauvoir to name a few.

It's a great feeling getting help from somebody, it's a great feeling helping another, and it's the greatest when you and another can help each other. I love being available to people

Similar whimsical thing going on. incredibly talented vocalist and they employ oboes and a kind of folksy baroque sound with really stunning compositions however I still find them kind of similar to the Sundays' whole thing. Most of this record is fantastic but specifically Epitaph Ivy and Woe is very special.
