What I’m Reading: Silver Like Dust – 40 in a series – “You had absolutely no privacy.”

Books / History / Quotes / Reading

“That first night, we could hear people settling in all around us.” She frowns. “That was the thing about those apartments. You had absolutely no privacy. You could hear everything.” The walls that divided one apartment from the next did not reach the ceiling, so there was a foot of open space at the top of each divider.”

From  Silver Like Dust by Kimi Cunningham Grant

What I'm Reading: Those were hakujin beaches. Whites-only beaches.
