“Had I known but yesterday what I know today, I'd have taken out your two grey eyes and put in eyes of clay, and had I known but yesterday you'd be no more my own I'd have taken out your heart of flesh and put in one of stone.”
– The Dogs of Babel

From the chapter-ending reflections of The Dogs of Babel:

"Do you see, then, the way my Lexie liked to make a game of the things of this life? That she carried within her a fine sense of play that colored everything she did? Is it any wonder that I look around at everything she left behind and wonder if she may be playing with me still?"

A novel you can't put down. I SO LOVE IT.
