“The story of Genesis must be undone. First, Cain must stop murdering Abel. This is essential if you’re to survive. The Leavers are the endangered species most critical to the world - not because they’re humans but because they alone can show the destroyers of the world that there is more than one right way to live. And then, of course, you must spit out the fruit of the forbidden tree. You must absolutely and forever relinquish the idea that you know who should live and who should die on this planet.”

That’s one of the books that appear on Willie’s bedside table. Now I remembered that I left the cover half blank in chapter 9, page 36, because I was going to look up the author’s name and what the cover design might look like on an edition that she might have. (Oops, too late to fix that for the Swedish edition now … ._.)
